commit fd60d8a086191fe33c2d719732d2482052fa6805 upstream.

A cloned head skb still shares these frag skbs in fraglist with the
original head skb. It's not safe to access these frag skbs.

syzbot reported two use-of-uninitialized-memory bugs caused by this:

This patch fixes it by linearizing cloned gso packets in sctp_rcv().
