If tc writes, it will call skb_make_writable and thus pskb_expand_head
to create a private linear section for the head_skb.

skb_segment_list overwrites part of the skb linear section of each
fragment itself. Even after skb_clone, the frag_skbs share their
linear section with their clone in pf_packet, so we need a
pskb_expand_head here, too.
