Same thing we did with 

if (dev->priv_flags & IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE)
	skb_dst_drop(skb);

in dev_hard_start_xmit() ?

Problem is this skb_tstamp_tx() thing....

One possibility would be to change skb_orphan() to let everything done
by destructor. 

One more argument would let destructor() know if this is the final
destructor() called from skb_release_head_state()

destructor() would be responsible to set skb->destructor and/or skb->sk
to NULL when possible. 


All normal destructors would not care of this 2nd argument and just do
what they actually do, plus setting skb->sk = NULL, skb->destructor =
NULL

Fast path would stay as today, no extra test.

Only tstamp users would need to setup another destructor, a bit more
complex (it would have to take a look at 2nd argument before really
doing the job)


Completely untested patch to get the idea :
(to be completed for the tstamp thing)
