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.
Even for TCP sockets not calling the sk destructor could have bad
effects on TSQ.
Address the issue using skb_orphan to release the sk wmem before
setting the new sock_efree destructor. Additionally bundle the
whole ownership update in a new helper, so that later other
potential users could avoid duplicate code.
v1 -> v2:
- use skb_orphan() instead of sort of open coding it (Eric)
- provide an helper for the ownership change (Eric)
