xsk: fix use-after-free of xs->skb in xsk_build_skb() free_err path

When xsk_build_skb() processes multi-buffer packets in copy mode, the
first descriptor stores data into the skb linear area without adding
any frags, so nr_frags stays at 0. The caller then sets xs->skb = skb
to accumulate subsequent descriptors.

If a continuation descriptor fails (e.g. alloc_page returns NULL with
-EAGAIN), we jump to free_err where the condition:

  if (skb && !skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags)
      kfree_skb(skb);

evaluates to true because nr_frags is still 0 (the first descriptor
used the linear area, not frags). This frees the skb while xs->skb
still points to it, creating a dangling pointer. On the next transmit
attempt or socket close, xs->skb is dereferenced, causing a
use-after-free or double-free.

Fix by using a !xs->skb check to handle first frag situation, ensuring
we only free skbs that were freshly allocated in this call
(xs->skb is NULL) and never free an in-progress multi-buffer skb that
the caller still references.
