net: skb_fclone_busy() needs to detect orphaned skb
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some drivers are unable to perform TX completions in a bound time.
They instead call skb_orphan()

Problem is skb_fclone_busy() has to detect this case, otherwise
we block TCP retransmits and can freeze unlucky tcp sessions on
mostly idle hosts.
