ipvs: fix PMTU for GUE/GRE tunnel ICMP errors

[ Upstream commit 6b335af0d0 ]

When an ICMP Fragmentation Needed error is received for a tunneled IPVS
connection, ip_vs_in_icmp() recomputes the MTU that the original packet
can use by subtracting the tunnel overhead from the reported next-hop
MTU.

The current code always subtracts sizeof(struct iphdr), which is only
the IPIP overhead. For GUE and GRE tunnels, ipvs_udp_decap() and
ipvs_gre_decap() already compute the additional tunnel header length,
but that value is scoped to the decapsulation block and is lost before
the ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED handling. As a result, the ICMP error sent back to
the client advertises an MTU that is too large, so PMTUD can fail to
converge for GUE/GRE-tunneled real servers.

With a reported next-hop MTU of 1400, a GUE tunnel currently returns
1380 to the client. The correct value is 1368:

  1400 - sizeof(struct iphdr) - sizeof(struct udphdr) -
  sizeof(struct guehdr)

Hoist the tunnel header length into the main ip_vs_in_icmp() scope and
subtract sizeof(struct iphdr) + ulen in the Fragmentation Needed path.
The IPIP path keeps ulen as 0, so its existing 1400 - 20 = 1380 result
is unchanged.
