[PATCH net] net: gro: set the last skb->next to NULL when it get merged

[kerneljasonxing]

From: Jason Xing <xingwanli@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Setting the @next of the last skb to NULL to prevent the panic in future
when someone does something to the last of the gro list but its @next is
invalid.

For example, without the fix (commit: ece23711dd95), a panic could happen
with the clsact loaded when skb is redirected and then validated in
validate_xmit_skb_list() which could access the error addr of the @next
of the last skb. Thus, "general protection fault" would appear after that.
