net: lan743x: fix RX checksum use-after-free

Browse source

lan743x_rx_process_buffer() adds each non-first receive buffer to the
head skb's frag_list.  On the last descriptor, lan743x_rx_trim_skb()
linearizes the head and frees the fragment skb metadata.

The checksum-success path then writes ip_summed through the local skb
pointer, which still points to the final fragment.  This causes a
use-after-free write when a packet spans more than one receive buffer.

Set ip_summed on the surviving head skb instead.  Multi-buffer receive
can occur after a live MTU increase because existing ring entries keep
their old buffer size until they are replenished.

A KUnit test invoking lan743x_rx_process_buffer() with a two-buffer
packet produced a one-byte KASAN use-after-free write before this change.
The same test passed after the change.  The driver object also builds
with W=1.  This was not tested on physical LAN743x hardware.
