net: do not reuse skbuff allocated from skbuff_fclone_cache in the sk…

…b cache

Some socket buffers allocated in the fclone cache (in __alloc_skb) can
end-up in the following path[1]:

napi_skb_finish
  __kfree_skb_defer
    napi_skb_cache_put

The issue is napi_skb_cache_put is not fclone friendly and will put
those skbuff in the skb cache to be reused later, although this cache
only expects skbuff allocated from skbuff_head_cache. When this happens
the skbuff is eventually freed using the wrong origin cache, and we can
see traces similar to:

[ 1223.947534] cache_from_obj: Wrong slab cache. skbuff_head_cache but object is from skbuff_fclone_cache
[ 1223.948895] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 0 at mm/slab.h:442 kmem_cache_free+0x251/0x3e0

[ 1223.953060] RIP: 0010:kmem_cache_free+0x251/0x3e0

Leading sometimes to other memory related issues.

Fix this by using __kfree_skb for fclone skbuff, similar to what is done
the other place __kfree_skb_defer is called.

[1] At least in setups using veth pairs and tunnels. Building a kernel
    with KASAN we can for example see packets allocated in
    sk_stream_alloc_skb hit the above path and later the issue arises
    when the skbuff is reused.
