Orphan and clone packets transmitted on dp_dev (proper fix for bug #478).

We need to orphan packets transmitted on dp_dev so that any socket that
the packets came from is no longer charged for them.  If we don't do
this, then the sk_buff will be destructed eventually, but it is
harder to predict when.

We need to clone packets because we are sticking them on
&dp_dev->xmit_queue, which is done by modifying the sk_buff, which we
can only do if it is not shared.
