When broadcasting data to multiple nodes via MHI, using skb_clone()
causes all nodes to receive the same header data. This can result in
packets being discarded by endpoints, leading to lost data.

This issue occurs when a socket is closed, and a QRTR_TYPE_DEL_CLIENT
packet is broadcasted. All nodes receive the same destination node ID,
causing the node connected to the client to discard the packet and
remain unaware of the client's deletion.

Replace skb_clone() with pskb_copy(), to create a separate copy of
the header for each sk_buff.

I guess this never happens for the SMD/RPMSG transport because the skb 
is consumed within the context of qrtr_node_enqueue where as MHI queues 
the skb to be transmitted later.

Does the duplicate destination node ID match the last node in the 
qrtr_all_nodes list?

Yes, it always matches the last node in the qrtr_all_nodes list.

Thanks for the confirmation, we haven't seen this before since most of 
our platforms usually only use one MHI qrtr node.
