Subject: [patch net-next 7/7] mlxsw: Fix use-after-free bug in mlxsw_sx_port_xmit

From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@...lanox.com>

Store the length of the skb before transmitting it and use it for stats
instead of skb->len, since skb might have been freed already.

This issue was discovered using the Kernel Address sanitizer (KASan).
