Devmap broadcast redirects clone xdp_frame instances for all but the
last destination. That clone path only copies the linear frame data,
while fragmented XDP frames store skb_shared_info in tailroom outside
the linear area.
As a result, broadcasting a fragmented xdp_frame leaves the clone with
XDP_FLAGS_HAS_FRAGS set but without valid frag metadata. The later free
path then treats uninitialized tail data as skb_shared_info, leading to
an out-of-bounds access during frame return.
Reject fragmented frames in dev_map_enqueue_clone(). Devmap already uses
-EOPNOTSUPP for unsupported XDP frag forwarding cases, and the current
xdp_frame clone model cannot safely represent a cloned fragmented
frame.

I am OK with restricting this (the support can be restored when/if
someone has a need for it), but we should add the same restriction to
generic XDP (i.e., in dev_map_redirect_clone()), so the feature set
doesn't diverge.
