Hi, Jian.

This sounds like a good idea in this case. When I have a look at 
bpf_clone_redirect(),
I found that it use skb_clone() too, which means it has the same problem. The
data can be modified by other xdp prog in the destination NIC if we use
bpf_clone_redirect().

So maybe this is the default logic, and I'm not sure if this patch can break the
existing users :/

Thanks!
