Subject: [PATCH net-next] xen-netfront: be more drop monitor friendly

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

xennet_start_xmit() might copy skb with inappropriate layout
into a fresh one.

Old skb is freed, and at this point it is not a drop, but
a consume. New skb will then be either consumed or dropped.
