  - ipv6: sr: use skb_get_hash_net() in seg6_make_flowlabel() Since commit d58e468b1112 (flow_dissector:
    implements flow dissector BPF hook) __skb_flow_dissect() needs a net pointer, either from skb->dev,
    skb->sk, or since commit 3cbf4ffba5ee (net: plumb network namespace into __skb_flow_dissect) a caller
    provided pointer. syzbot was able to reach seg6_make_flowlabel() with an skb having neither skb->dev nor
    skb->sk set: a TIPC UDP bearer sends a discovery message through an IPv4 route using seg6 encap, while
    net.ipv6.seg6_flowlabel is set to 1. seg6_make_flowlabel() already has a net pointer, use
    skb_get_hash_net(). WARNING: net/core/flow_dissector.c:1131 at __skb_flow_dissect+0x910/0x5368
