net: tracepoint of net_dev_xmit sees freed skb and causes panic
Because there is a possibility that skb is kfree_skb()ed and zero cleared
after ndo_start_xmit, we should not see the contents of skb like skb->len and
skb->dev->name after ndo_start_xmit. But trace_net_dev_xmit does that
and causes panic by NULL pointer dereference.
This patch fixes trace_net_dev_xmit not to see the contents of skb directly.
If you want to reproduce this panic,
1. Get tracepoint of net_dev_xmit on
2. Create 2 guests on KVM
2. Make 2 guests use virtio_net
4. Execute netperf from one to another for a long time as a network burden
5. host will panic(It takes about 30 minutes)
