ip: fix truesize mismatch in ip fragmentation


Special care should be taken when slow path is hit in ip_fragment() :

When walking through frags, we transfert truesize ownership from skb to
frags. Then if we hit a slow_path condition, we must undo this or risk
uncharging frags->truesize twice, and in the end, having negative socket
sk_wmem_alloc counter, or even freeing socket sooner than expected.

Many thanks to Nick Bowler, who provided a very clean bug report and
test program.

Thanks to Jarek for reviewing my first patch and providing a V2

While Nick bisection pointed to commit 2b85a34e (net: No more
expensive sock_hold()/sock_put() on each tx), underlying bug is older
(2.6.12-rc5)

A side effect is to extend work done in commit b2722b1c
(ip_fragment: also adjust skb->truesize for packets not owned by a
socket) to ipv6 as well.
