Subject: [PATCH v2] net: hsr: avoid possible NULL deref in skb_clone()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

commit d8b57135fd9f ("net: hsr: avoid possible NULL deref in
skb_clone()")

Modify frame_get_stripped_skb for 5.4.y branch according to the
upstream fix in hsr_get_untagged_frame.

syzbot got a crash [1] in skb_clone(), caused by a bug
in hsr_get_untagged_frame().

When/if create_stripped_skb_hsr() returns NULL, we must
not attempt to call skb_clone().

While we are at it, replace a WARN_ONCE() by netdev_warn_once().
