CVE-2022-49840

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

bpf, test_run: Fix alignment problem in bpf_prog_test_run_skb()

We got a syzkaller problem because of aarch64 alignment fault
if KFENCE enabled. When the size from user bpf program is an odd
number, like 399, 407, etc, it will cause the struct skb_shared_info's
unaligned access. As seen below:

  BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in __skb_clone+0x23c/0x2a0 net/core/skbuff.c:1032

To fix the problem, we adjust @size so that (@size + @hearoom) is a
multiple of SMP_CACHE_BYTES. So we make sure the struct skb_shared_info
is aligned to a cache line.
