net: Stop decapitating clones that have a head_frag
This change is meant ot prevent stealing the skb->head to use as a page in the event that the skb->head was cloned. This allows the other clones to track each other via shinfo->dataref. Without this we break down to two methods for tracking the reference count, one being dataref, the other being the page count. As a result it becomes difficult to track how many references there are to skb->head.
