bpf: Reject negative head_room in __bpf_skb_change_head

Yinhao et al. recently reported:

  Our fuzzing tool was able to create a BPF program which triggered
  the below BUG condition inside pskb_expand_head.

  [...]

The problem is that in __bpf_skb_change_head() we need to reject a
negative head_room as otherwise this propagates all the way to the
pskb_expand_head() from skb_cow(). For example, if the BPF test infra
passes a skb with gso_skb:1 to the BPF helper with a negative head_room
of -22, then this gets passed into skb_cow(). __skb_cow() in this
example calculates a delta of -86 which gets aligned to -64, and then
triggers BUG_ON(nhead < 0). Thus, reject malformed negative input.
