After commit e6d5dbdd20aa ("xdp: add multi-buff support for xdp running in
generic mode"), the original skb may be freed in skb_pp_cow_data() when
XDP program was attached, which was allocated in tun_napi_alloc_frags().
However, the napi->skb still point to the original skb, update it after
XDP process.
