[PATCH 2.6.32 1/3] net: Fix ks8851 snl NULL pointer dereference Oops

[Ha, Tristram]

From: Tristram Ha <Tristram.Ha@xxxxxxxxxx>

This fixes the NULL pointer dereference Oops in the ks8851 snl network driver during transmission.  All socket buffers from the queue are processed inside the loop, but new workqueues have been scheduled to run.
