3.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email protected]>

netpoll can call functions in hard irq context that are ordinarily
called in lesser contexts.  For those functions use dev_kfree_skb_any
and dev_consume_skb_any so skbs are freed safely from hard irq
context.
