CVE-2026-45929

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ovpn: fix possible use-after-free in ovpn_net_xmit

When building the skb_list in ovpn_net_xmit, skb_share_check will free
the original skb if it is shared. The current implementation continues
to use the stale skb pointer for subsequent operations:
– peer lookup,
– skb_dst_drop (even though all segments produced by skb_gso_segment
will have a dst attached),
– ovpn_peer_stats_increment_tx.

Fix this by moving the peer lookup and skb_dst_drop before segmentation
so that the original skb is still valid when used. Return early if all
segments fail skb_share_check and the list ends up empty.
Also switch ovpn_peer_stats_increment_tx to use skb_list.next; the next
patch fixes the stats logic.
