3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Eric Dumazet <eduma...@google.com>
[ Upstream commit cd8f76c0a0c6fce0b2cf23c9bd0123f91453f46d ]
As soon as hardware is notified of a transmit, we no longer can assume
skb can be dereferenced, as TX completion might have freed the packet.
