Commit da37845fdce2 ("packet: uses kfree_skb() for errors.") switches
from consume_skb to kfree_skb to improve error handling. However, this
could bring a lot of noises when we monitor real packet drops in
kfree_skb[1], because in tpacket_rcv or packet_rcv only packet clones
can be freed, not actual packets.
Adding a generic drop reason to allow distinguish these "clone drops".
