Subject: CVE-2025-21925: llc: do not use skb_get() before dev_queue_xmit()

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

llc: do not use skb_get() before dev_queue_xmit()

syzbot is able to crash hosts [1], using llc and devices
not supporting IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING.

In this case, e1000 driver calls eth_skb_pad(), while
the skb is shared.

Simply replace skb_get() by skb_clone() in net/llc/llc_s_ac.c

Note that e1000 driver might have an issue with pktgen,
because it does not clear IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING, this is an
orthogonal change.

We need to audit other skb_get() uses in net/llc.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
