Subject: [PATCH] net: usbnet: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference

23ba07991dad said SKB can be NULL without describing the triggering
scenario. Always Check it before dereference to void potential NULL
pointer dereference.
Fix smatch warning:
drivers/net/usb/usbnet.c:1380 usbnet_start_xmit() error: we previously assumed 'skb' could be null (see line 1359)
