Did we on the same page, could you please review my patch again?

My draft patch was based on current mainline( 3.4.0-rc3)  which had
already integrated your previous patch. And in my patch, it replaced
skb_queue_walk_safe() with skb_queue_walk(), so you will not see  'tmp
= skb->next'  any more.
Replace skb_queue_walk_safe with skb_queue_walk doesn't improve
the problem, since 'skb = skb->next' in skb_queue_walk still may trigger
the oops, does it?
No.
In each loop, my patch traverse the queue from its head, and it always
holds  q->lock when it need refer "skb->next", this can make sure the
right skb is not moved out of rxq/txq.

Can this fix what you concern? If so, IMO, there is no need to revert
your previous patch.
