[ Upstream commit fd60d8a086191fe33c2d719732d2482052fa6805 ]

A cloned head skb still shares these frag skbs in fraglist with the
original head skb. It's not safe to access these frag skbs.

syzbot reported two use-of-uninitialized-memory bugs caused by this:

This patch fixes it by linearizing cloned gso packets in sctp_rcv().

This patch is lost/missing, as it has already been added
into stable branches less than and greater than 6.1. Previous patch in
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/20251022075549.195012-1-kovalev@altlinux.org/ is still not added.
So I resent it again.
