Commit 147e70e6 ("cxgb3: Use SKB list interfaces instead of home-grown
implementation.") causes a crash in t3_l2t_send_slow() when an iWARP
connection request is received. This is because the new l2t_entry.arpq
skb queue is never initialized, and therefore trying to add an skb to
it causes a NULL dereference. With the old code there was no need to
initialize the queues because the l2t_entry structures were zeroed,
and the code used NULL to mean empty.
Fix this by adding __skb_queue_head_init() when all the l2t_entry
structures get allocated.

This should probably go to -stable as well, since it looks like the
commit that broke things went into 2.6.27-rc6.
