skbuff: in skb_copy_ubufs unclone before releasing zerocopy
skb_copy_ubufs must unclone before it is safe to modify its skb_shared_info with skb_zcopy_clear. Commit b90ddd568792 ("skbuff: skb_copy_ubufs must release uarg even without user frags") ensures that all skbs release their zerocopy state, even those without frags. But I forgot an edge case where such an skb arrives that is cloned. The stack does not build such packets. Vhost/tun skbs have their frags orphaned before cloning. TCP skbs only attach zerocopy state when a frag is added. But if TCP packets can be trimmed or linearized, this might occur. Tracing the code I found no instance so far (e.g., skb_linearize ends up calling skb_zcopy_clear if !skb->data_len). Still, it is non-obvious that no path exists. And it is fragile to rely on this.
