In the __xsk_rcv() multi-buffer path, xsk_buff_alloc() is called in a
loop without checking its return value. xsk_buff_can_alloc() only
counts fill queue entries without validating their addresses, so it
can succeed while xsk_buff_alloc() rejects all remaining entries and
returns NULL.

  Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address

Fix this with a two-stage transaction. First allocate and stage all
buffers required for the packet using the pool's xskb_list, recycling
them with xsk_buff_free() if any allocation fails. Only after the
allocation stage succeeds, copy the data, reserve the RX descriptors,
and release the buffers in an error-free loop using
xsk_buff_get_frag().

v3:
 - Use pool's xskb_list and xsk_buff_get_frag() instead of a local
   staging list, per Maciej and Jason's review.
 - Set frags flag on head so xsk_buff_free() recycles the entire
   staged group in one call.
 - Guard against duplicate aligned Fill Ring addresses.
v2:
 - Allocate all packet buffers before reserving RX descriptors.
 - Recycle partially allocated buffers instead of only cancelling the
  RX producer reservations.
