skb: allow skb_scrub_packet() to be used by tunnels
This function was only used when a packet was sent to another netns. Now, it can also be used after tunnel encapsulation or decapsulation. Only skb_orphan() should not be done when a packet is not crossing netns. Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
