[ Upstream commit 88c7a9fd9bdd3e453f04018920964c6f848a591a ]
When sending a packet, we will prepend it with an LAPB header. This modifies the shared parts of a cloned skb, so we should copy the skb rather than just clone it, before we prepend the header.
In "Documentation/networking/driver.rst" (the 2nd point), it states that drivers shouldn't modify the shared parts of a cloned skb when transmitting.
The "dev_queue_xmit_nit" function in "net/core/dev.c", which is called when an skb is being sent, clones the skb and sents the clone to AF_PACKET sockets. Because the LAPB drivers first remove a 1-byte pseudo-header before handing over the skb to us, if we don't copy the skb before prepending the LAPB header, the first byte of the packets received on AF_PACKET sockets can be corrupted.
