This patch should fix the reported panic due to NULL dereference. Under low-memory conditions, it may not be possible to allocate a new skb. In that case, the code is supposed to reuse the old one. For the RTL8192EE, which has a unique descriptor buffer flow, the initialization of a buffer descriptor was missed.
