Subject: [PATCH] hsr: fix NULL pointer dereference in skb_clone with hw tag
 insertion

When hardware HSR tag insertion is enabled (NETIF_F_HW_HSR_TAG_INS) and
frame->skb_std is NULL, both hsr_create_tagged_frame() and
prp_create_tagged_frame() will call skb_clone() with a NULL skb pointer,
causing a kernel crash.

Fix this by adding NULL checks for frame->skb_std before calling
skb_clone() in the functions.

Fixes: f266a683a480 (\"net/hsr: Better frame dispatch\")
