Subject: [PATCH 5.5 036/170] tcp: also NULL skb->dev when copy was needed

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

[ Upstream commit 07f8e4d0fddbf2f87e4cefb551278abc38db8cdd ]

In rare cases retransmit logic will make a full skb copy, which will not
trigger the zeroing added in recent change
b738a185beaa ("tcp: ensure skb->dev is NULL before leaving TCP stack").

Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>
Fixes: 75c119afe14f ("tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queue")
Fixes: 28f8bfd1ac94 ("netfilter: Support iif matches in POSTROUTING")
