I also considered this method. but when the skb has frags or needs to be TSO,
only the last tx_buf of the skb needs to store the skb pointer, but all the tx_buf
of the skb needs to set the type explicitly, I think it is a bit mess and not concise.
So I restore the type to default when recycle the BDs. Anyway, it;s just a difference
in implement, if you guys insist it's better to set the type explicitly, I will modify
the patch. Thanks!
