Subject: [PATCH 3.10 25/62] net: fec: fix potential use after free

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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

[ Upstream commit 7a2a84518cfb263d2c4171b3d63671f88316adb2 ]

skb_tx_timestamp(skb) should be called _before_ TX completion
has a chance to trigger, otherwise it is too late and we access
freed memory.
