This is a rare path taken when the timestamp skb cannot be queued
onto the socket (likely because of insufficient rcvbuf).
Somehow, freeing the timestamp skb triggers this use-after-free in
the original skb from which the timestamp was cloned. As if there
is a bug in the shared info dataref.
The report does occur on reading a shinfo field (gso_size).
