Apply Dirty Frag fixes (CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500)

Apply the same Patch1100 (xfrm/esp) and Patch1101 (rxrpc) shipped on
the AlmaLinux 10 main branch. Release is not bumped since 226 has not
yet shipped to users; a second changelog entry is added under the
existing 6.12.0-226 version.

Subject: [PATCH AlmaLinux 10] xfrm: esp: avoid in-place decrypt on shared skb frags
Direct cherry-pick of upstream commit f4c50a4034e6 for AlmaLinux 10
(6.12 kernel).
Verified to apply with `patch -p1 -F0` (no offset, no fuzz, no rejects)
against kernel-6.12.0-124.55.1.el10_1.
ESP-in-UDP packets built from MSG_SPLICE_PAGES (pipe pages) look like
ordinary uncloned nonlinear skbs to ESP input, which takes the no-COW
fast path and decrypts in place over data that is not owned privately
by the skb. Mark IPv4/IPv6 datagram splice frags with SKBFL_SHARED_FRAG
matching TCP, and make ESP input fall back to skb_cow_data() when the
flag is present.
Fixes: cac2661c53f3 ("esp4: Avoid skb_cow_data whenever possible")
Fixes: 03e2a30f6a27 ("esp6: Avoid skb_cow_data whenever possible")
Fixes: 7da0dde68486 ("ip, udp: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES")
Fixes: 6d8192bd69bb ("ip6, udp6: Support MSG_SPLICE_PAGES")
(cherry picked from commit f4c50a4034e62ab75f1d5cdd191dd5f9c77fdff4)

From: Andrew Lukoshko <alukoshko@almalinux.org>
Subject: [PATCH AlmaLinux 10] rxrpc: linearize incoming DATA packet when it has paged frags
AlmaLinux-specific backport of the intent of the upstream rxrpc fix
posted at https://lore.kernel.org/all/afKV2zGR6rrelPC7@v4bel/ for the
"Dirty Frag" class of bugs (sibling to upstream commit f4c50a4034e6 in
the ESP/xfrm subsystem).
The upstream patch can not be cherry-picked against this 6.12 tree:
its target lines were introduced by upstream commit d0d5c0cd1e71
("rxrpc: Use skb_unshare() rather than skb_cow_data()") which is not
present here. The age-equivalent code path on AlmaLinux 10 is the
centralized skb_unshare() in net/rxrpc/io_thread.c that is run for
every DATA packet with a non-zero securityIndex before in-place
decryption.
skb_unshare() only handles cloned skbs. An skb that is non-cloned but
carries paged fragments (skb->data_len != 0) — e.g. pages attached via
udp_sendpage() / splice() / MSG_SPLICE_PAGES on a UDP socket carrying
rxrpc traffic — slips through and is decrypted in place over data the
skb does not own privately. With kernel-modules-partner installed
(rxrpc.ko enabled), this is exploitable.
Replace the unconditional skb_unshare() with skb_copy() whenever the
skb is cloned OR carries paged fragments. skb_copy() always returns a
freshly allocated linear skb, so subsequent in-place decryption only
touches kernel-owned memory. The original skb is consumed explicitly
(skb_unshare did this internally via consume_skb()).
Verified to apply with `patch -p1 -F0` (no offset, no fuzz, no
rejects) against kernel-6.12.0-124.55.1.el10_1.
Fixes: cac2661c53f3 ("rxrpc: Use skb_cow_data() in rxrpc_recvmsg_data()")
