[Luis Henriques]

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

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

From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 37ec274e9713eafc2ba6c4471420f06cb8f68ecf upstream.

Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

skb_tx_timestamp(skb) should be called _before_ TX completion
has a chance to trigger, otherwise it is too late and we access
freed memory.
