Here, skb_shinfo(skb) still points to old shinfo, you should not touch
it. An other user might need it :)

I believe you cannot remove skb_release_data() call, we really need to
perform the atomic operation, and test the result on it, or a double
free could happen.

is it a leftover ?

I understand what you want to do, but problem is we need to perform a
CAS2 operation : atomically changes two values (dataref and frag_list)
