[ Upstream commit e5dcc0c3223c45c94100f05f28d8ef814db3d82c ]

rose_write_internal() uses a temp buffer of 100 bytes, but a manual
inspection showed that given arbitrary input, rose_create_facilities()
can fill up to 110 bytes.

Lets use a tailroom of 256 bytes for peace of mind, and remove
the bounce buffer : we can simply allocate a big enough skb
and adjust its length as needed.

<title>net/rose: fix NULL ax25_cb kernel panic</title>

[ Upstream commit b0cf029234f9b18e10703ba5147f0389c382bccc ]

When an internally generated frame is handled by rose_xmit(),
rose_route_frame() is called:

        if (!rose_route_frame(skb, NULL)) {
                dev_kfree_skb(skb);
                stats-&gt;tx_errors++;
                return NETDEV_TX_OK;
        }

We have the same code sequence in Net/Rom where an internally generated
frame is handled by nr_xmit() calling nr_route_frame(skb, NULL).
However, in this function NULL argument is tested while it is not in
rose_route_frame().
Then kernel panic occurs later on when calling ax25cmp() with a NULL
ax25_cb argument as reported many times and recently with syzbot.

We need to test if ax25 is NULL before using it.

Testing:
Built kernel with CONFIG_ROSE=y.

Now that there are no more users kill dev_rebuild_header and all of it's
implementations.

This is long overdue.

Patterned after the similar code in net/rom this turns out
to be a trivial obviously correct transmformation.

<title>rose: Set the destination address in rose_header</title>

Not setting the destination address is a bug that I suspect causes no
problems today, as only the arp code seems to call dev_hard_header and
the description I have of rose is that it is expected to be used with a
static neigbour table.

I have derived the offset and the length of the rose destination address
from rose_rebuild_header where arp_find calls neigh_ha_snapshot to set
the destination address.

<title>net: Remove iocb argument from sendmsg and recvmsg</title>

After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
networking stack.
