Subject: [PATCH net-next V2] net: introduce skb_poison_list and use in
 kfree_skb_list

First user of skb_poison_list is in kfree_skb_list_reason, to catch bugs
earlier like introduced in commit eedade12f4cb ("net: kfree_skb_list use
kmem_cache_free_bulk"). For completeness mentioned bug have been fixed in
commit f72ff8b81ebc ("net: fix kfree_skb_list use of skb_mark_not_on_list").

In case of a bug like mentioned commit we would have seen OOPS with:
 general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000870
And content of one the registers e.g. R13: dead000000000800

In this case skb->len is at offset 112 bytes (0x70) why fault happens at
 0x800+0x70 = 0x870
