[ Upstream commit f7ff19871bb4a3451e1ca2cf660bf633018cfbec ]

Ari got kernel panics using tg3 NIC, and bisected to 2669069aacc9 "tg3:
enable transmit time stamping."

This is because tigon3_dma_hwbug_workaround() might alloc a new skb and
free the original. We panic when skb_tx_timestamp() is called on freed
skb.
