netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_reject_ipv6: fix nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put()
syzbot reported that nf_reject_ip6_tcphdr_put() was possibly sending
garbage on the four reserved tcp bits (th->res1)
Use skb_put_zero() to clear the whole TCP header,
as done in nf_reject_ip_tcphdr_put()
