[PATCH net v2 1/1] ip: orphan prefetched skbs before multicast forwarding

IPv4 and IPv6 input preserve an skb->sk association installed by
bpf_sk_assign() so that local delivery can use the selected socket under
RCU. IPv6 can also get such an association from udp_v6_early_demux(),
which runs in ip6_rcv_finish_core(), after ip6_rcv_core().

The reproduced UDPv6 packet has a multicast IP destination but a unicast
destination MAC address. It is therefore classified as PACKET_HOST and
passes the UDP early-demux check.

When the multicast packet is not locally deliverable, IPv6 hands the
original skb to ip6_mr_input(). IPv4's ip_mr_input() similarly keeps the
original skb when local delivery is not needed. Either path can put the
skb on an unresolved multicast route queue or forward it after the
receive-side RCU section ends.

After the prefetched socket is destroyed, a later skb free invokes
sock_pfree() and dereferences the stale skb->sk. Orphan the skb before
each non-local multicast forwarding path. Local delivery retains the
original skb; the existing skb_clone() calls provide multicast forwarding
with a socket-free clone.

Fixes: cf7fbe660f2d ("bpf: Add socket assign support")
Fixes: 08842c43d016 ("udp: no longer touch sk->sk_refcnt in early demux")

changes in v2:
- Cover the IPv4 multicast forwarding path.
- Correct the IPv6 early-demux ordering and document the unicast-MAC
  PACKET_HOST condition used by the reproducer.
- Add the BPF socket-assignment and UDP early-demux Fixes tags.
