Subject: [PATCHv2 net] sunvnet: set queue mapping when doing packet copies

This patch fixes a bug where vnet_skb_shape() didn't set the already-selected
queue mapping when a packet copy was required. This results in using the
wrong queue index for stops/starts, hung tx queues and watchdog timeouts
under heavy load. It also transfers the destructor, truesize, and the owning
socket for flow control (code adapted from skb_segment).
