Nice try, but this adds a bug unfortunately, or if you prefer makes the
"BUG_ON(frag->sk);" being not fully covered.

If we hit slow path, and one or more frags had frag->sk set, we silently
unset it, instead of a nice BUG_ON().

If you really want to have a slow_path_clean, you should use a different
frag2 iterator :

slow_path_clean:
if (skb->sk) {
skb_walk_frags(skb, frag2) {
if (frag2 == frag)
break;
frag2->sk = NULL;
frag2->destructor = NULL;
skb->truesize += frag2->truesize;
}
}

Face it, this is too complex for net-2.6, could we just fix the bug, and
'optimize' later ?
