um: vector: fix use-after-free in vector_mmsg_rx()

When vector_mmsg_rx() discards a packet whose overlay header fails
verify_header(), it frees the skb and continues the loop:

	if (header_check < 0) {
		dev_kfree_skb_irq(skb);
		vp->estats.rx_encaps_errors++;
		continue;
	}

The normal and short-packet paths fall through to the bottom of the
loop body, which clears the consumed slot and advances the cursors:

	(*skbuff_vector) = NULL;
	mmsg_vector++;
	skbuff_vector++;

The verify_header() < 0 path skips that via continue, so the freed skb
is left in skbuff_vector[] and the cursors do not advance. The next
iteration reads the same slot, gets the freed skb, and frees it again,
producing a refcount underflow / use-after-free in the RX path.

Discard the slot the same way the other paths do before continuing.

Only transports whose verify_header() can return negative are affected:
GRE and L2TPv3 do so on a cookie/session-id mismatch (raw/tap do not),
so any peer on such a transport can trigger it without authentication.
