Subject: tcp: make sure skb is not shared before using skb_get()

commit ba34e6d9d346fe4e05d7e417b9edf5140772d34c upstream.

IPv6 can keep a copy of SYN message using skb_get() in
tcp_v6_conn_request() so that caller wont free the skb when calling
kfree_skb() later.

Therefore TCP fast open has to clone the skb it is queuing in
child->sk_receive_queue, as all skbs consumed from receive_queue are
freed using __kfree_skb() (ie assuming skb->users == 1)
