ip6_tunnel: clear skb2->cb[] in ip6ip6_err()

ip6ip6_err() clones an outer IPv6 ICMP error skb, pulls it to the
quoted inner IPv6 packet, and then passes the clone to icmpv6_send().
The clone still carries the outer packet's inet6_skb_parm in skb->cb.

If the outer packet had a Home Address Option, IP6CB(skb2)->dsthao
remains non-zero after skb_pull(). icmpv6_send() later calls
mip6_addr_swap(), which uses that stale dsthao offset against the quoted
inner packet. A malformed inner destination-options header can then make
the HAO lookup and address swap run past the end of the quoted packet
and corrupt skb_shared_info.

Clear skb2->cb[] before pulling the quoted inner IPv6 packet so the
reply path does not reuse metadata left by the outer IPv6 stack.

Fixes: e490d1d85cf5 ("[IPV6] IP6TUNNEL: Split out generic routine in ip6ip6_err().")
