garp_pdu_parse_attr() keeps a pointer into the skb linear area across pskb_may_pull(skb, ga->len), and garp_pdu_parse_msg() dereferences gm on every loop iteration even though the nested parse may pull again. pskb_may_pull() can reallocate the skb head, which would leave those pointers stale. This is not reachable today: GARP PDUs arrive via the 802.2 LLC SAP path, where llc_fixup_skb() already pulls and trims the whole payload into the linear area, so the inner pulls never reallocate. Reload ga after the pull and snapshot gm->attrtype into a local anyway, to harden the parser and match the skb_header_pointer() discipline used by mrp.c. No functional change.
