Subject: [PATCH net] net: let skb_orphan_partial wake-up waiters.

Currently the mentioned helper can end-up freeing the socket wmem
without waking-up any processes waiting for more write memory.

If the partially orphaned skb is attached to an UDP (or raw) socket,
the lack of wake-up can hang the user-space.

Address the issue invoking the write_space callback after
releasing the memory, if the old skb destructor requires that.

Fixes: f6ba8d33cfbb ("netem: fix skb_orphan_partial()")
