Add the missing offsets when copying frags in xdp_copy_frags_from_zc().

Fixes: 560d958c6c68 ("xsk: add generic XSk &xdp_buff -> skb conversion")

Incorrect fix.

page_pool_dev_alloc_netmem() allocates a buffer of skb_frag_size() len,
but then you pass offset when copying, which may lead to access beyond
the end of the buffer.

I know that my code here is incorrect as well, but the idea was to
allocate only skb_frag_size() and copy the actual payload without any
offset to the new buffer. So, you need to pass the offset only to the
second argument of memcpy() and then pass 0 as @offset to
__skb_fill_netmem_desc_noacc().

I'm not quite familiar with the page_pool API so I might be wrong. AFAICS, the netmem_ref is just a wrapper around struct page now. page_pool_dev_alloc_netmem(pp, &offset, &truesize) returns the allocated page for our request but we must use the returned offset to access our allocated space. The start of page may be currently used by other user.

That's my understanding when looking at this code path

page_pool_dev_alloc_netmem
-> page_pool_alloc_netmem
    -> page_pool_alloc_frag_netmem <- specifically this function

Thanks,
