tun: drop batched packets while the device is down
tun_sendmsg() handles TUN_MSG_PTR batches from vhost-net by calling
tun_xdp_one() instead of tun_get_user(). But this path does not check
IFF_UP, allowing packets from a guest to be injected into the host
receive path while the device is administratively down.
Check IFF_UP in tun_xdp_one() before running XDP or building an skb.
Drop the packet when the device is down, matching tun_get_user().
Fixes: 043d222f93ab ("tuntap: accept an array of XDP buffs through sendmsg()")
