TP_fast_assign() unconditionally calls udp_hdr(skb) before checking
whether the packet is UDP. Furthermore, __icmp_send() can be invoked
from paths (e.g., link failures, ARP errors, forwarding, AF_PACKET)
where skb->transport_header was never initialized (~0U).

Under CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=y, calling skb_transport_header(skb) triggers
DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(!skb_transport_header_was_set(skb)).

Fix this by:
1. Only parsing transport info when iph->protocol == IPPROTO_UDP.
2. Using skb_header_pointer() at skb_network_offset(skb) + (iph->ihl << 2)
   to safely fetch the UDP header without assuming transport_header is set.
