Before these patches the network driver would crash under strong load
but it does not happen any more after. Tested on the D-Link DIR-685
playing back media and transfering new media using ksmbd while
issuing ping storms.

The vast majority of clashiko findings are actually fixes in this
very patch series or pre-existing issues, but I think it has a valid
point on patch 5 (WRT rebuilding ring with odd number of entries
consumed).

Also it looks like patch 11 is mostly against the current netdev
guidance for guard() usage:

OK I'll look closely at patch 5 and drop patch 11 and respin.

What I did was to kind-of-sort-of run the patches through
sashiko before submitting them, which makes it find
less.

Thanks Paolo,
