Well, first possible error path:

tcp_v6_do_rcv()->tcp_rcv_established(), the latter goes to step5, where
eventually skb can be freed via tcp_data_queue() (drop: label), then if
check for tcp_defer_accept_check() returns true and thus
tcp_rcv_established() returns -1, which forces tcp_v6_do_rcv() to jump
to reset: label, which in turn will pass through discard: label and free
the same skb again.

I will work on this this weekend, thank you.
