netlink: fix splat in skb_clone with large messages

Browse Source 
Since (c05cdb1 netlink: allow large data transfers from user-space),
netlink splats if it invokes skb_clone on large netlink skbs since:

* skb_shared_info was not correctly initialized.
* skb->destructor is not set in the cloned skb.

This was spotted by trinity:

[  894.990671] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc9000047b001
[  894.991034] IP: [<ffffffff81a212c4>] skb_clone+0x24/0xc0
[...]
[  894.991034] Call Trace:

[  894.991034]  [<ffffffff81a601e1>] netlink_sendmsg+0x251/0x3d0

Fix it by:

1) introducing a new netlink_skb_clone function that is used in nl_fib_input,
   that sets our special skb->destructor in the cloned skb. Moreover, handle
   the release of the large cloned skb head area in the destructor path.

2) not allowing large skbuffs in the netlink broadcast path. I cannot find
   any reasonable use of the large data transfer using netlink in that path,
   moreover this helps to skip extra skb_clone handling.

I found two more netlink clients that are cloning the skbs, but they are
not in the sendmsg path. Therefore, the sole client cloning that I found
seems to be the fib frontend.

Thanks to Eric Dumazet for helping to address this issue.
