Thanks for fixing this bug but the patch description is just a URL and a
git hash.  Say something like:

The sock ref counting is off so there is a kernel panic when you run
`atalkd`.  See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79441
This fix is similar to 0ae89beb283a ('can: add destructor for self
generated skbs')

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

Putting a little information directly in the changelog that it is about
refcounting and panics is a useful thing.

Also you need to send this to netdev@...r.kernel.org and CC
"David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>.  Otherwise the patch looks good
to my non-expert eye.  Please resend to with the updated changelog and
CC list.

regards,
dan carpenter
