    ipv6: Remove all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE
    
    The macro LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE was ill-conceived.  It applies the
    alignment to the sum of needed_headroom and needed_tailroom.  As
    the amount that is then reserved for head room is needed_headroom
    with alignment, this means that the tail room left may be too small.
    
    This patch replaces all uses of LL_ALLOCATED_SPACE in net/ipv6
    with the macro LL_RESERVED_SPACE and direct reference to
    needed_tailroom.
    
    This also fixes the problem with needed_headroom changing between
    allocating the skb and reserving the head room.
