Subject: [PATCH net 1/1] hv_netvsc: Fix a bug in netvsc_start_xmit()

Commit commit b08cc79155fc26d0d112b1470d1ece5034651a4b eliminated memory
allocation in the packet send path. This commit introduced a bug since it
did not account for the case if the skb was cloned. Fix this bug by
using the pre-reserved head room only if the skb is not cloned.
