Larry Finger 22b68b93ae rtlwifi: Fix kernel oops introduced with commit e496561473
With commit e496561473 {"rtlwifi: Use dev_kfree_skb_irq instead of
kfree_skb"), the method used to free an skb was changed because the
kfree_skb() was inside a spinlock. What was forgotten is that kfree_skb()
guards against a NULL value for the argument. Routine dev_kfree_skb_irq()
does not, and a test is needed to prevent kernel panics.

Fixes: e496561473 ("rtlwifi: Use dev_kfree_skb_irq instead of kfree_skb")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
