This was corrected by commit ed79bab847d8e5a2986d8ff43c49c6fb8ee3265f

virtio_net: use dev_kfree_skb_any() in free_old_xmit_skbs()

Because netpoll can call netdevice start_xmit() method with
irqs disabled, drivers should not call kfree_skb() from
their start_xmit(), but use dev_kfree_skb_any() instead.
