[ Upstream commit c92510f5e3f82ba11c95991824a41e59a9c5ed81 ]

arp_create() is the only dev_hard_header() caller
making assumption about skb->head being unchanged.

A recent commit broke this assumption.

Initialize @arp pointer after dev_hard_header() call.

Fixes: db5b4e39c4e6 ("ip6_gre: make ip6gre_header() robust")
