xfrm: iptfs: fix skb_put() panic on non-linear skb during reassembly

In iptfs_reassem_cont(), IP-TFS attempts to append data to the new inner
packet 'newskb' that is being reassembled. First a zero-copy approach is
tried if it succeeds then newskb becomes non-linear.

When a subsequent fragment in the same datagram does not meet the
fast-path conditions, a memory copy is performed. It calls skb_put() to
append the data and as newskb is non-linear it triggers
SKB_LINEAR_ASSERT check.

<TASK>

Fix this by checking if the skb is non-linear. If it is, linearize it by
calling skb_linearize(). As the initial allocation of newskb originally
reserved enough tailroom for the entire reassembled packet we do not
need to check if we have enough tailroom or extend it.
