Subject: [PATCH 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.

I'm resubmitting this in its original form. Since skb_segment() doesn't do
TCP flow control either, due to an incorrect destructor check, and those
issues raised by Eric are a matter of fairness, while this missing queue_mapping
assignment results in crashes, I'd like to get this piece fixed separately.
