Currently, hns3_nic_maybe_stop_tx() uses skb_copy() to linearize a
SKB if the BD num required by the SKB does not meet the hardware
limitation, and it linearizes the SKB by allocating a new linearized SKB
and freeing the old SKB, if hns3_nic_maybe_stop_tx() returns -EBUSY
because there are no enough space in the ring to send the linearized
skb to hardware, the sch_direct_xmit() still hold reference to old SKB
and try to retransmit the old SKB when dev_hard_start_xmit() return
TX_BUSY, which may cause use after freed problem.
This patch fixes it by using __skb_linearize() to linearize the
SKB in hns3_nic_maybe_stop_tx().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
