Subject: [PATCH 3.17 04/25] hyperv: Fix a bug in netvsc_send()

3.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: KY Srinivasan <kys@...rosoft.com>

[ Upstream commit 3a67c9ccad926a168d8b7891537a452018368a5b ]

After the packet is successfully sent, we should not touch the packet
as it may have been freed. This patch is based on the work done by
Long Li <longli@...rosoft.com>.

David, please queue this up for stable.
