net: increase skb->users instead of skb_clone()
In dev_queue_xmit_nit(), we have to clone skbs as we need to mangle skbs, however, we don't need to clone skbs for all the packet_types. Except for the first packet_type, we increase skb->users instead of skb_clone(). Signed-off-by: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@gmail.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
