Sending packet out over a removing interface looks bad. I'd like to drop
backlog packet.

Yes, Paolo's patch fixes the panic issue too. But it seems has side
effort. For example:

520 struct sk_buff *arp_create(int type, int ptype, __be32 dest_ip,
.....
538                 return NULL;
539 
540         skb_reserve(skb, hlen);
541         skb_reset_network_header(skb); <-- it update skb->network_header


But skb_cow_head seems does not touch skb->network_header. I have to say
I did not test the network_header.
