No, maybe you misunderstood it.
Legacy code stack has 'flags' variable to save irq information, and at
the end defer_bh(), spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dev->done.lock, flags)
will use it. However, the variable may not be initialized in your
patch.

Then the potential issue is,  in defer_bh(),  __skb_unlink() may be
called without holding the lock. This can cause current issue too,
because __skb_unlink() may move 'skb->next' out of txq/rxq, and even
free it.
