Subject: ipvlan: fix use after free of skb

commit a534dc529853c69e94994aa47c1d80a03ce2c11d upstream.

ipvlan_handle_frame is a rx_handler, and when it returns a value other
than RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED (here, NET_RX_DROP aka RX_HANDLER_ANOTHER),
__netif_receive_skb_core expects that the skb still exists and will
process it further, but we just freed it.
