[ Upstream commit 155e3003d1e614f85566b636973df7118e1b4851 ]

btmtksdio_tx_packet() prepends the MediaTek SDIO header with skb_push()
and writes into that space after only checking the headroom size. On a
cloned SKB that headroom belongs to a buffer shared with the other owner,
which the driver has no right to write to.

Cloned SKBs do reach this path: hci_send_cmd_sync() keeps a clone of every
HCI command in hdev->sent_cmd before handing the SKB to the driver, and
l2cap_ertm_send() clones SKBs for retransmission.

Replace the open-coded headroom check with skb_cow_head(), which both
guarantees the headroom and reallocates a private buffer when the SKB is
cloned. The cost is one reallocation and copy per cloned packet, the usual
price of this pattern in network drivers.

This has no observable effect on its own, as the driver only writes in
front of skb->data where no other owner looks. It is a prerequisite for
"Bluetooth: btmtksdio: Fix out-of-bounds DMA read in the TX path", which
writes padding behind skb->tail, and carries the same Fixes: tag so that
both are backported together.
