I looked and can't figure out a better way to fix this :)

Applied, thanks Willem.

[PATCH net-next] ip: silence udp zerocopy smatch false positive

[Willem de Bruijn]

From: Willem de Bruijn 

extra_uref is used in __ip(6)_append_data only if uarg is set.

Smatch sees that the variable is passed to sock_zerocopy_put_abort.
This function accesses it only when uarg is set, but smatch cannot
infer this.

Make this dependency explicit.

Fixes: 52900d22288e ("udp: elide zerocopy operation in hot path")
