I've found 2 problems in this patch,
and I'm going to resend new patch version soon.

need to assign sk not to skb but to nskb

It is quite strange to call consume_skb() on one case and kfree_skb() in another one.
We know that original skb was shared so we should not call kfree_skb here.

Btw I've noticed similar problem in few other cases:
in pptp_xmit, pvc_xmit, ip_vs_prepare_tunneled_skb
they call consume_skb() in case of success and kfree_skb on error path.
It looks like potential bug for me.
