[ Upstream commit e120f46768d98151ece8756ebd688b0e43dc8b29 ]
Raw IP packets have no MAC header, leaving skb->mac_header uninitialized. This can trigger kernel panics on ARM64 when xfrm or other subsystems access the offset due to strict alignment checks.
Initialize the MAC header to prevent such crashes.
This can trigger kernel panics on ARM when running IPsec over the qmimux0 interface.
