Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: restore napi_consume_skb()'s NULL-handling

Commit e20dfbad8aab ("net: fix napi_consume_skb() with alien skbs")
added a skb->cpu check to napi_consume_skb(), before the point where
napi_consume_skb() validated skb is not NULL.

Add an explicit check to the early exit condition.
