Subject: [PATCH net-next] net:  skb_orphan() changes

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

It is illegal to set skb->sk without corresponding destructor.

Its therefore safe for skb_orphan() to not clear skb->sk if
skb->destructor is not set.

Also avoid clearing skb->destructor if already NULL.
