[ Upstream commit 098116e7e640ba677d9e345cbee83d253c13d556 ]
If the owing socket is shutting down - e.g. the sock reference
count already dropped to 0 and only sk_wmem_alloc is keeping
the sock alive, skb_orphan_partial() becomes a no-op.
When forwarding packets over veth with GRO enabled, the above
causes refcount errors.
This change addresses the issue with a plain skb_orphan() call
in the critical scenario.
Fixes: 9adc89af724f ("net: let skb_orphan_partial wake-up waiters.")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
