Summary
udp: call skb_orphan() before skb_attempt_defer_free()
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

udp: call skborphan() before skbattemptdeferfree()

Standard UDP receive path does not use skb->destructor.

But skmsg layer does use it, since it calls skbsetownersksafe() from udpreadskb().

This then triggers this warning in skbattemptdefer_free():

DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(skb->destructor);

We must call skb_orphan() to fix this issue.
