not dropping afterwards? Then this should be consume_skb or
dev_kfree_skb.

Also I detected we can't make:

	skb = skb_unshare(skb, GFP_ATOMIC);
	if (!skb)
		return NET_XMIT_DROP;

We need something like:

	tmpskb = skb_unshare(skb, GFP_ATOMIC);
	if (!tmpskb) {
		kfree_skb(skb);
		return NET_XMIT_DROP;
	}
	skb = tmpskb;
