v4.16-rc1 misaligned atomics in skb__clone / __napi_alloc_skb

Hi,

While fuzzing arm64 v4.16-rc1 with Syzkaller, I've been hitting a
misaligned atomic in __skb_clone:

atomic_inc(&(skb_shinfo(skb)->dataref));

.. where dataref doesn't have the required natural alignment, and the
atomic operation faults. e.g. i often see it aligned to a single byte
boundary rather than a four byte boundary.

AFAICT, the skb_shared_info is misaligned at the instant it's allocated
in __napi_alloc_skb(). With the patch at the end of this mail, the
atomic_set() (which is a WRITE_ONCE()) in __build_skb() blows up, e.g.

... I see these splats with both tun and virtio-net.

I have some Syzkaller logs, and can reproduce the problem locally, but
unfortunately the C reproducer it generated doesn't seem to work on its
own.

Any ideas as to how this could happen?

Thanks,
Mark.
