The free member of struct sk_buff was droped in 2.1.[5/6] since it was
obsolete. Just ignore references to it... i.e. it is no longer necessary
to set skb->free...

skb->free != 1 was used in <2.1 kernels since TCP would send skbs down to the
lower levels which it needed to keep until they where acknowledged...
