Subject: [PATCH net 2/2] net: dev_queue_xmit_nit: fix potential NULL ptr dereference

Commit 71d9dec24dce548bf699815c976cf063ad9257e2 (``net: increase
skb->users instead of skb_clone()'') introduced a skb_clone in
dev_queue_xmit_nit that, when NULL, leaves the loop, but can still
be injected into pt_prev->func().
