You may see that we do check skb != NULL before we timestamp it.
But later in the process we depend skb == NULL implying that tx_fixup != NULL

That is the combination that must not happen. If it happens, though
simply bailing out seems to the wrong answer.

How can that happen? And if it happens is tx_fixup set?
