I suspect the "right" way to fix this is to call dev_kfree_skb_any(skb);
instead, since that will handle the in-interrupt case if that's where
we're stuck.
Caller is always b44_poll(), and that caller always does spin_lock_irqsave().

Adding the extra tests implied by dev_kfree_skb_any() therefore doesn't
make any sense, as it will always evaluate to dev_kfree_skb_irq().
