xdp: reject clones that overrun skb_shared_info tailroom

Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xdp: reject clones that overrun skb_shared_info tailroom xdpf_clone() clones broadcast copies into a single page and sets frame_sz to PAGE_SIZE. __xdp_build_skb_from_frame() later treats that page like a normal XDP frame and expects the usual skb_shared_info tailroom at the end of the buffer. The current check only rejects frames whose linear xdp_frame header, headroom, and packet data exceed PAGE_SIZE. A source frame backed by a larger allocation can still satisfy that check while extending into the clone's required shared-info area. When such a clone is converted back into an skb, build_skb_around() places skb_shared_info over live packet bytes and later writes can corrupt XDP return metadata. Reject clones unless their linear area fits inside SKB_WITH_OVERHEAD(PAGE_SIZE), matching the tailroom requirement already enforced by the XDP-to-skb conversion path.
