skbuff: only inherit relevant tx_flags
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765010 [ Upstream commit fff88030 ] When inheriting tx_flags from one skbuff to another, always apply a mask to avoid overwriting unrelated other bits in the field. The two SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG cases clears all other bits. In practice, tx_flags are zero at this point now. But this is fragile. Timestamp flags are set, for instance, if in tcp_gso_segment, after this clear in skb_segment. The SKBTX_ANY_TSTAMP mask in __skb_tstamp_tx ensures that new skbs do not accidentally inherit flags such as SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG.
