Feng Sun 2c1644cf6d net: fix skb use after free in netpoll
After commit baeababb5b
("tun: return NET_XMIT_DROP for dropped packets"),
when tun_net_xmit drop packets, it will free skb and return NET_XMIT_DROP,
netpoll_send_skb_on_dev will run into following use after free cases:
1. retry netpoll_start_xmit with freed skb;
2. queue freed skb in npinfo->txq.
queue_process will also run into use after free case.

hit netpoll_send_skb_on_dev first case with following kernel log:

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
