In `dgram_ioctl()` (`SIOCINQ`), the queued skb at the head of
`sk->sk_receive_queue` has already had its MAC header stripped by
`ieee802154_subif_frame()` prior to `dgram_deliver()`, so `skb->len` is
already the exact payload length that `dgram_recvmsg()` will return to
userspace.
However, `dgram_ioctl()` computes `*karg = skb->len -
ieee802154_hdr_length(skb)`. Calling `ieee802154_hdr_length(skb)`
re-parses the payload bytes as an 802.15.4 MAC header and calls
`pskb_may_pull(skb, ...)` while holding `sk->sk_receive_queue.lock`.
When multiple `SOCK_DGRAM` sockets receive a cloned copy of the frame
(`skb_shared(skb)` is true) and the payload is non-linear,
`pskb_may_pull()` calls `pskb_expand_head()`, which triggers
`BUG_ON(skb_shared(skb))`. Even on unshared linear skbs, subtracting
`ieee802154_hdr_length(skb)` a second time underflows `*karg` to a
negative value when the payload is shorter than the bogus parsed header
length.
Set `*karg = skb->len` directly in `dgram_ioctl()`.
