Some drivers like in btmtkuart_send_frame are putting sent skbs to
queues and modifying the contents, so at least different queue
structure from skb_queue_* would be needed.

I'm guessing the assumption in drivers generally is they now own the
skb and can do what they want with them, so clones sound safer here if
there are no rules we can assume.

It looks like kernel is not currently enabling Synchronous Flow Control
(cf. Core 5.4 Vol 4, Part E page 1817), so there are no NoCP events for
SCO packets appearing, so the tx queue can't work.

Indeed, there's no flow control in hci_core.c:hci_sched_sco/esco,
sco_cnt is not decremented.

We could still send SCHED timestamps, but they probably wouldn't be
very useful for user if no queue can form in the socket.

Trying to enable TX timestamping if hdev doesn't support required flow
control mode maybe should fail with EOPNOTSUPP or something similar, so
user then knows no SND timestamps are going to be issued.

It's not clear to me how the SND tstamp should be signaled in the
monitor socket. For errqueue, similarly the other net TX tstamping, it
is sending one packet for each timestamp if there are multiple, along
with original data unless TSONLY was set, but not sure that's fine for
the monitor.
