PATCH v6 6/6 net: add ip4_parse()

In reply to a message not in the archive

Multiple places in the net stack open-code the same minimal IPv4 header
validation: pull the fixed header, check version 4 and IHL >= 5 (where 5 is the fixed header size in 32-bit units) - and locate the transport header at IHL * 4 past the network header.

Add a helper for doing that: it returns the validated header and the transport header offset, or NULL if truncated or malformed.

As noted by Phil Sutter, there are more places that could use this helper, e.g. ip_mc_check_iphdr(). They will be converted in a follow-up patch.

Notes (changelog):
v4->v5:
pull the options as well, so that the transport header offset is within the linear data (Willem de Bruijn)
v5->v6:
the options pull moved to the helper introduction in "net: resolve uncommon partial checksums at ingress"
