CVE-2025-38622: net: drop UFO packets in udp_rcv_segment()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: drop UFO packets in udprcvsegment()
When sending a packet with virtionethdr to tun device, if the gsotype in virtionethdr is SKBGSOUDP and the gsosize is less than udphdr size, below crash may happen.

To trigger gso segment in udpqueuercvskb(), we should also set option UDPENCAPESPINUDP to enable udpsk(sk)->encaprcv. When the encaprcv hook return 1 in udpqueuercvoneskb(), udpcsumpullheader() will try to pull udphdr, but the skb size has been segmented to gso size, which leads to this crash.
Previous commit cf329aa42b66 ("udp: cope with UDP GRO packet misdirection") introduces segmentation in UDP receive path only for GRO, which was never intended to be used for UFO, so drop UFO packets in udprcvsegment().
