Eric Dumazet d0d3e9c286 net: gro: clear skb_shinfo(skb)->hwtstamps in napi_reuse_skb()
Some network drivers assume this field is zero after napi_get_frags().

We must clear it in napi_reuse_skb() otherwise the following can happen:

1) A packet is received, and skb_shinfo(skb)->hwtstamps is populated
   because a bit in the receive descriptor announced hwtstamp
   availability for this packet.

2) Packet is given to gro layer via napi_gro_frags().

3) Packet is merged to a prior one held in GRO queues.

4) skb is saved after some cleanup in napi->skb via a call
   to napi_reuse_skb().

5) Next packet is received 10 seconds later, gets the recycled skb
   from napi_get_frags().

6) The receive descriptor does not announce hwtstamp availability.
   Driver does not clear shinfo->hwtstamps.

7) We have in shinfo->hwtstamps an old timestamp.
