This looks reasonable, and I think this should be acceptable to the
netdev folks.  Although a minor heads-up that somebody might object to
icmp_send() no longer being exported.

I would suggest adding a comment to the code above explaining that
this is necessary because we might be called above the IP layer and we
can't safely use IPCB() here.

Granted I'm looking at this rather quickly, so I may be missing
something, but why the changes to ip_options_compile()?  Couldn't you
simply set opt->data manually (set the ptr) in cipso_v4_error() before
calling ip_options_compile() and arrive at the same result without
having to modify ip_options_compile()?  I suppose there is the rtable
value to worry about, but ip_options_echo() should take care of that,
yes?  No?
