[ovs-dev] [RFC PATCH net-next 2/4] skb: allow skb_scrub_packet() to be used by tunnels

This function was only used when a packet was sent to another netns. Now, it can
also be used after tunnel encapsulation or decapsulation.

Only skb_orphan() should not be done when a packet is not crossing netns.
