Ralf Lici 3e4fbcb4e0 ovpn: fix possible use-after-free in ovpn_net_xmit 
[ Upstream commit a5ec7baa44 ]

When building the skb_list in ovpn_net_xmit, skb_share_check will free
the original skb if it is shared. The current implementation continues
to use the stale skb pointer for subsequent operations:
- peer lookup,
- skb_dst_drop (even though all segments produced by skb_gso_segment
  will have a dst attached),
- ovpn_peer_stats_increment_tx.

Fix this by moving the peer lookup and skb_dst_drop before segmentation
so that the original skb is still valid when used. Return early if all
segments fail skb_share_check and the list ends up empty.
Also switch ovpn_peer_stats_increment_tx to use skb_list.next; the next
patch fixes the stats logic.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
