skbuff: in skb_copy_ubufs unclone before releasing zerocopy

skb_copy_ubufs must unclone before it is safe to modify its
skb_shared_info with skb_zcopy_clear.

Commit b90ddd56 ("skbuff: skb_copy_ubufs must release uarg even
without user frags") ensures that all skbs release their zerocopy
state, even those without frags.

But I forgot an edge case where such an skb arrives that is cloned.

The stack does not build such packets. Vhost/tun skbs have their
frags orphaned before cloning. TCP skbs only attach zerocopy state
when a frag is added.

But if TCP packets can be trimmed or linearized, this might occur.
Tracing the code I found no instance so far (e.g., skb_linearize
ends up calling skb_zcopy_clear if !skb->data_len).

Still, it is non-obvious that no path exists. And it is fragile to
rely on this.
