When SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS is set, frag pages are not refcounted but
their lifetime is controlled by the attached ubuf_info. To make a copy
of the skb_shared_info, we either should clear the flag and reference
the frags, or keep the flag and have frags unreferenced.

pskb_carve_inside_header() and pskb_carve_inside_nonlinear() don't
follow the rule and thus can leak page references. Let's clear
SKBFL_MANAGED_FRAG_REFS from the original skb to fix it. It's the
simplest way to address it, but there are more performant ways to do
that if it ever becomes a problem.
