[PATCH 3.10 09/16] hyperv: Fix a bug in netvsc_start_xmit()

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: KY Srinivasan <kys@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit dedb845ded56ded1c62f5398a94ffa8615d4592d ]

After the packet is successfully sent, we should not touch the skb
as it may have been freed. This patch is based on the work done by
Long Li <longli@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>.

In this version of the patch I have fixed issues pointed out by David.
David, please queue this up for stable.
