From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>

commit 55b2984c96c37f909bbfe8851f13152693951382 upstream.

Fix rxrpc_input_call_event() to only unshare DATA packets and not ACK,
ABORT, etc..

And with that, rxrpc_input_packet() doesn't need to take a pointer to the
pointer to the packet, so change that to just a pointer.

Fixes: 1f2740150f90 ("rxrpc: Fix potential UAF after skb_unshare() failure")
