Unfortunately gcc doesn't perform tail call optimization when the
address of a parameter or local variable is passed to an extern
function before the tail call, which NF_HOOK does for the skb.

To which Herbert later asked why we need the **pskb thing.

The reason is that if we have to COW or resize the SKB it
could result in a realloc of the sk_buff struct which is
why we need the **pskb thing.

But strangely I can't find any skbuff.h interfaces that
require that any longer :-)))  So this might be some artifact
that we can in fact kill off.
