skbuff: orphan frags before zerocopy clone

Browse source

Call skb_zerocopy_clone after skb_orphan_frags, to avoid duplicate
calls to skb_uarg(skb)->callback for the same data.

skb_zerocopy_clone associates skb_shinfo(skb)->uarg from frag_skb
with each segment. This is only safe for uargs that do refcounting,
which is those that pass skb_orphan_frags without dropping their
shared frags. For others, skb_orphan_frags drops the user frags and
sets the uarg to NULL, after which sock_zerocopy_clone has no effect.

Qemu hangs were reported due to duplicate vhost_net_zerocopy_callback
calls for the same data causing the vhost_net_ubuf_ref_>refcount to
drop below zero.
