This seems to also make sure that when returning 'full'
NET_XMIT_SUCCESS, skb pointer is safe(r?) to use now.

I guess so... At least theoretically - I was mainly afraid of
redirecting, which isn't fully implemented yet. On the other hand,
outwards of qdiscs there is still no difference.

How about making skb shared before passing into qdisc tree?
That would make skb usage safe after qdisc enqueues.

That's two extra atomic operations on every transmitted packet,
no thanks :-)
