This means that can_dropped_invalid_skb() would be called twice: one
time in can_send() and one time in the driver's xmit() function,
right?
It would be nice to find a trick to detect whether the skb was
injected through the packet socket or not in order not to execute
can_dropped_invalid_skb() twice. I guess the information of the
provenance of the skb is available somewhere, just not sure where (not
familiar with the packet socket).
