The backport of

  05c0b86b96 ("ipv6: frags: rewrite ip6_expire_frag_queue()")

to linux-4.4.y stable changed ip6_expire_frag_queue() to be similar
to ip_expire(). However, using skb_get() leads to a crash while
sending the ICMP message due to a check for shared SKBs.

   kernel BUG at linux-4.4.0/net/core/skbuff.c:1207!

For IPv4 the ip_expire() function however did change considerably
since then. In

  fa0f527358 ("ip: use rb trees for IP frag queue.")

the SKB might be taken from a rbtree (use of rbtrees for IPv4 was
backported to 4.4.y upstream).
Along with those obvious changes, the code also is modified to
actually de-queue the SKB from whichever source it was taken.
This also got rid of the skb_get() which causes problems in
icmpv6_send(). And latest upstream code uses inet_frag_pull_head()
which does the same.

To fix the crash in IPv6, we use the same modifications added
to ip_expire() by fa0f527358. This might be too much change for
now because IPv6 only starts using rbtrees for frags with

  997dd96471 ("net: IP6 defrag: use rbtrees in nf_conntrack_reasm.c")

which has not been backported to 4.4.y. Testing by a reporter was
showing good results. Likely the else part never gets used until
997dd96471 is backported, too. And that needs more changes.
Some upstream (stable) discussion was started but has not yet
resulted in any usable results. So adding this as SAUCE for now
to get the kernel stable (based on testing).

Fixes: bf8187348f ("ipv6: frags: rewrite ip6_expire_frag_queue()")
       in the linux-4.4.y stable tree.
(based-on: f78a3f45e7 ("ip: use rb trees for IP frag queue." 4.4.y))
