Thanks for the fix! I have verified that it fixes the crash that I was
seeing.

  Tested-by: Tyler Hicks <tyhicks@...onical.com>

Your analysis of the problem makes sense. I feel like a helper function
to properly remove an skb from list_head and NULL the next pointer, in
the GRO code, before passing it on to something else that uses the
hand-rolled linked list implementation could help with maintainability.
That's just a suggestion  - this patch looks good to me:
