Bitterblue Smith e9048e2935 wifi: rtw88: usb: Copy instead of cloning the RX skb
"iperf3 -c 192.168.0.1 -R --udp -b 0" shows about 40% of datagrams
are lost. Many torrents don't download faster than 3 MiB/s, probably
because the Bittorrent protocol uses UDP. This is somehow related to
the use of skb_clone() in the RX path.

Don't use skb_clone(). Instead allocate a new skb for each 802.11 frame
received and copy the data from the big (32768 byte) skb.

With this patch, "iperf3 -c 192.168.0.1 -R --udp -b 0" shows only 1-2%
of datagrams are lost, and torrents can reach download speeds of 36
MiB/s.

Tested with RTL8812AU and RTL8822CU.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
