commit 6e56830776828d8ca9897fc4429eeab47c3bb432 upstream.
Got crash report with following backtrace: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffff8801869daffe RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff816429c4>] [<ffffffff816429c4>] ip6_finish_output2+0x394/0x4c0 RSP: 0018:ffff880186c83a98 EFLAGS: 00010283 RAX: ffff8801869db00e ...

The bad access is in neigh_hh_output(), at skb->data - 16 (HH_DATA_MOD). atl1c driver provided skb with no headroom, so 14 bytes (ethernet header) got pulled, but then 16 are copied.
Reserve NET_SKB_PAD bytes headroom, like netdev_alloc_skb().
Compile tested only; I lack hardware.
