Subject: [PATCH 3.12 08/78] net: mvneta: fix race condition in mvneta_tx()

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

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

===============

[ Upstream commit 5f478b41033606d325e420df693162e2524c2b94 ]

mvneta_tx() dereferences skb to get skb->len too late,
as hardware might have completed the transmit and TX completion
could have freed the skb from another cpu.

Fixes: 71f6d1b31fb1 ("net: mvneta: replace Tx timer with a real interrupt")
