Subject: [PATCH] net: skbuff: propagate shared-frag marker in skb_zerocopy()

skb_zerocopy() moves frag descriptors from @from into @to and takes a
reference on each frag, but it does not copy skb_shinfo(from)->flags into
skb_shinfo(to)->flags.  A destination skb holding the same page-cache
backed frags as the source therefore reports skb_has_shared_frag() as
false.

That breaks the invariant relied on by later in-place writers.  ESP input
checks skb_has_shared_frag() before deciding whether an uncloned
nonlinear skb can skip skb_cow_data(); with the marker lost, an skb that
skb_zerocopy() built for nfnetlink_queue or for an openvswitch upcall is
decrypted in place, letting an unprivileged user write into the page
cache of a root-owned read-only file.

Propagate SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG when frag descriptors are copied, as done for
the other frag-transfer helpers.

Fixes: af2806f8f90a ("net: Export skb_zerocopy() to zerocopy from one skb to another")
Fixes: f4c50a4034e6 ("xfrm: esp: avoid in-place decrypt on shared skb frags")
