[PATCH net] net: core: orphan frags before queuing to slow qdisc

[Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com>]

Many qdiscs can queue a packet for a long time, this will lead an issue
with zerocopy skb. It means the frags will not be orphaned in an expected
short time, this breaks the assumption that virtio-net will transmit the
packet in time.

So if guest packets were queued through such kind of qdisc and hit the
limitation of the max pending packets for virtio/vhost. All packets that
go to another destination from guest will also be blocked.

A case for reproducing the issue:

- Boot two VMs and connect them to the same bridge kvmbr.
- Setup tbf with a very low rate/burst on eth0 which is a port of kvmbr.
- Let VM1 send lots of packets thorugh eth0
- After a while, VM1 is unable to send any packets out since the number of
  pending packets (queued to tbf) were exceeds the limitation of vhost/virito

Solve this issue by orphaning the frags before queuing it to a slow qdisc (the
one without TCQ_F_CAN_BYPASS).
