skb_zerocopy() fails to propagate the unreadable flag when copying
unreadable fragments, causing target skbs to appear as readable memory.
This patch fixes the flag propagation. Additionally, it returns -EFAULT
if readable fragments are mixed with unreadable fragments during
extraction, and returns -EFAULT in openvswitch queue_userspace_packet().
Fixes: 65249feb6b3d ("net: add support for skbs with unreadable frags")

Protect tcp_sendmsg_locked() from mistakenly mixing readable and
unreadable page fragments in the same SKB.
Check that the devmem binding matches the existing SKB's readability.
If a mismatch is detected, avoid collapsing and create a new segment.

v4:
- Adopt Eric's suggestion to check 'binding' against SKB readability
alongside tcp_skb_can_collapse_to().
- Drop pre-existing Reviewed-by tags due to significant implementation changes.
