Before route_shortcircuit(), the eth header pointer is cached from eth_hdr(skb).
Inside route_shortcircuit(), pskb_may_pull() can be called, which may
reallocate skb->head.
In this case, returning to vxlan_xmit() leaves the cached eth pointer pointing to
freed memory, leading to a use-after-free when dereferencing eth->h_dest.
Fix this by updating eth = eth_hdr(skb) after calling route_shortcircuit().
