My first reaction here was to call skb_queue_purge(), but that is
implemented as:

	while ((skb = skb_dequeue(list)) != NULL)
		kfree_skb(skb);

So basically it brings us into the same endless loop we are trying to
break out here.

If it was me I would just remove this check. *txcb is allocated once
in rtw_usb_tx_agg_skb(), &txcb->tx_ack_queue is added the number of skbs
that fit into RTW_USB_MAX_XMITBUF_SZ and here we dequeue these skbs
again. No other code even has the pointer to add skbs to this queue
concurrently.
