tg3: fix tigon3_dma_hwbug_workaround()
Ari got kernel panics using tg3 NIC, and bisected to 2669069aacc9 "tg3: enable transmit time stamping." This is because tigon3_dma_hwbug_workaround() might alloc a new skb and free the original. We panic when skb_tx_timestamp() is called on freed skb. Reported-by: Ari Savolainen <ari.m.savolainen@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
