It is so much cleaner to not do multiple things in one patch.

It's also better to completely revert the SKB list handling
changes first, then add whatever other fixes you want make
on top.

Partial revert really makes no sense here and is only asking
for even more potential regressions.

So, like I said, I'm reverting this wholesale unless I can figure
out a fix quickly.
