Subject: [PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 22/40] macvtap: segmented packet is consumed

3.19.8-ckt22 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

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

commit be0bd3160165e42783d8215f426e41c07179c08a upstream.

If GSO packet is segmented and its segments are properly queued,
we call consume_skb() instead of kfree_skb() to be drop monitor
friendly.

Fixes: 3e4f8b7873709 ("macvtap: Perform GSO on forwarding path.")
