Subject: Backport bpf: try harder on clones when writing into skb? [Commit: 3697649ff29e0f647565eed04b27a7779c646a22]

Does it make sense to backport
3697649ff29e0f647565eed04b27a7779c646a22 from 4.6 to the longterm
(4.4) release? I can trivially recreate the issue represented by
3697649ff29e0f647565eed04b27a7779c646a22 by attaching a eBPF filter
that clones an ingress ICMP packet, and then tries to set the
destination MAC address.

It seems like the patch applies cleanly to 4.4. I cherry-picked it,
and rebuilt my kernel, and at least in the trivial test case passes.
