[ 070/167] [PATCH 10/26] netlink: fix races after skb queueing

From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 4a7e7c2ad540e54c75489a70137bf0ec15d3a127 ]

As soon as an skb is queued into socket receive_queue, another thread
can consume it, so we are not allowed to reference skb anymore, or risk
use after free.
