[ Upstream commit 8156210d36a43e76372312c87eb5ea3dbb405a85 ]
Bernard Pidoux reported a regression apparently caused by commit c353e8983e0d ("net: introduce per netns packet chains").
skb->dev becomes NULL and we crash in __netif_receive_skb_core().
Before above commit, different kind of bugs or corruptions could happen without a major crash.
But the root cause is that ax25_kiss_rcv() can queue/mangle input skb without checking if this skb is shared or not.
Many thanks to Bernard Pidoux for his help, diagnosis and tests.
We had a similar issue years ago fixed with commit 7aaed57c5c28 ("phonet: properly unshare skbs in phonet_rcv()").
