It is not allowed to call kfree_skb() from hardware interrupt
context or with interrupts being disabled. So add all skb to
a tmp list, then free them after spin_unlock_irqrestore() at
once.

this is still doing dev_kfree_skb_irq() instead of attaching the skb to tmp, in fact
tmp seems unused so the loop below does nothing

Also note that there's already a dev_put() above
