Subject: net: Clone skb before setting peeked flag
commit 738ac1ebb96d02e0d23bc320302a6ea94c612dec upstream.
Shared skbs must not be modified and this is crucial for broadcast
and/or multicast paths where we use it as an optimisation to avoid
unnecessary cloning.
The function skb_recv_datagram breaks this rule by setting peeked
without cloning the skb first. This causes funky races which leads
to double-free.
This patch fixes this by cloning the skb and replacing the skb
in the list when setting skb->peeked.
Fixes: a59322be07c9 ("[UDP]: Only increment counter on first peek/recv")
