[PATCH 6.12.y v3 1/2] rxrpc: Fix conn-level packet handling to unshare RESPONSE packets

From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>
The security operations that verify the RESPONSE packets decrypt bits of it
in place - however, the sk_buff may be shared with a packet sniffer, which
would lead to the sniffer seeing an apparently corrupt packet (actually
decrypted).
Fix this by handing a copy of the packet off to the specific security
handler if the packet was cloned.
Fixes: 17926a79320a ("[AF_RXRPC]: Provide secure RxRPC sockets for use by userspace and kernel both")
