Subject: benet: Call dev_kfree_skby_any instead of kfree_skb.
From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email protected]>
Replace free_skb with dev_kfree_skb_any in be_tx_compl_process as
which can be called in hard irq by netpoll, softirq context
by normal napi polling, and in normal sleepable context
by the network device close method.
