Automated bisect on an ARM build with the same issue reveals:

f6ba8d33cfbb46df569972e64dbb5bb7e929bfd9 is the first bad commit

    netem: fix skb_orphan_partial()

    I should have known that lowering skb->truesize was dangerous :/

    In case packets are not leaving the host via a standard Ethernet device,
    but looped back to local sockets, bad things can happen, as reported
    by Michael Madsen ( https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195713 )

    So instead of tweaking skb->truesize, lets change skb->destructor
    and keep a reference on the owner socket via its sk_refcnt.

    Fixes: f2f872f9272a ("netem: Introduce skb_orphan_partial() helper")

I'm guessing Eric already knows about this but I've Cc'd him just in case.
