Since commit 30f241fcf52a ("xsk: Fix immature cq descriptor
production"), the descriptor number is stored in skb control block and
xsk_cq_submit_addr_locked() relies on it to put the umem addrs onto
pool's completion queue.
skb control block shouldn't be used for this purpose as after transmit
xsk doesn't have control over it and other subsystems could use it. This
leads to the following kernel panic due to a NULL pointer dereference.
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Kernel Offset: 0x1c000000 from 0xffffffff81000000 (relocation range:
0xffffffff80000000-0xffffffffbfffffff)
The approach proposed stores the first address also in the xsk_addr_node
along with the number of descriptors. The head xsk_addr_node is
referenced in skb_shinfo(skb)->destructor_arg. The rest of the fragments
store the address on the list.
This is less efficient as 4 bytes are wasted when storing each address.
Fixes: 30f241fcf52a ("xsk: Fix immature cq descriptor production")
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/0435b904-f44f-48f8-afb0-6
