A skb which detects use-after-free was not a part of frag_list. Please
check the commit msg once again.

Both sk_receive_queue of PF_PACKET and PF_INET (or PF_INET6) can have
a link for the same frag_skbs chain. If a new skb (*not frags*) is
queued to one of the sk_receive_queue, multiple ptypes can see and
release this. It causes use-after-free.
