tcp: skb_shift cannot cache frag ptrs past pskb_expand_head
Since pskb_expand_head creates copy of the shared area we cannot keep any frag ptr past de-cloning. This fixes the tcpdump recvfrom -EFAULT problem. Signed-off-by: Ilpo Järvinen <ilpo.jarvinen@helsinki.fi> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
