[PATCH] net: core/dev: fix sparse warning

[Lad Prabhakar]

From: "Lad, Prabhakar" <prabhakar.csengg@xxxxxxxxx>

this patch fixes following sparse warning:
net/core/dev.c: In function 'validate_xmit_skb_list':
net/core/dev.c:2720: warning: 'tail' may be used uninitialized in this function

Although its a false positive, as head is assigned to NULL in the
beginning, due which later in the loop tail is assigned to skb->prev.

Signed-off-by: Lad, Prabhakar <prabhakar.csengg@xxxxxxxxx>
