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

commit fbe5e29ec1886967255e76946aaf537b8cc9b81e upstream.

This oops have been already fixed with commit

27141666b69f535a4d63d7bc6d9e84ee5032f82a

atm: [br2684] Fix oops due to skb->dev being NULL

It happens that if a packet arrives in a VC between the call to open it on
the hardware and the call to change the backend to br2684, br2684_regvcc
processes the packet and oopses dereferencing skb->dev because it is
NULL before the call to br2684_push().

but have been introduced again with commit

b6211ae7f2e56837c6a4849316396d1535606e90

atm: Use SKB queue and list helpers instead of doing it by-hand.
