NAME
       skb_clone_sk - create clone of skb, and take reference to socket

SYNOPSIS
       struct sk_buff * skb_clone_sk(struct sk_buff * skb);

ARGUMENTS
       skb
           the skb to clone

DESCRIPTION
       This function creates a clone of a buffer that holds a reference on sk_refcnt. Buffers
       created via this function are meant to be returned using sock_queue_err_skb, or free via
       kfree_skb.

       When passing buffers allocated with this function to sock_queue_err_skb it is necessary to
       wrap the call with sock_hold/sock_put in order to prevent the socket from being released
       prior to being enqueued on the sk_error_queue.
