In enic_hard_start_xmit, it calls enic_queue_wq_skb(). Inside
enic_queue_wq_skb, if some error happens, the skb will be freed
by dev_kfree_skb(skb). But the freed skb is still used in
skb_tx_timestamp(skb).

My patch makes enic_queue_wq_skb() return error and goto spin_unlock()
incase of error. The solution is provided by Govind.
See https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/4/30/961.

0 is success, any other value is error. if (enic_queue_wq_skb(enic, wq, skb)).

Otherwise patch looks good.
