ipv4: prevent speculative execution
CVE-2017-5753 (Spectre v1 Intel) Since the offset value in function raw_getfrag() seems to be controllable by userspace and later on conditionally (upon bound check) used in the following memcpy, insert an observable speculation barrier before its usage. This should prevent observable speculation on that branch and avoid kernel memory leak.
