Looks like the root cause is the fact that the packet recieve function
fcoe_ctlr_recv enqueues the skb to a sk_buff_head_list prior to ensuring that
the skb is unshared. This can happen when multiple packet listeners recieve an
skb, as the deliver_skb function just increments skb->users for each handler.
As a result, having multiple users of a single skb results in multiple
manipulators of its methods, implying list corruption, and the oops recorded
above.
The fix is pretty easy, just make sure that we clone the skb if its got multiple
users with the skb_share_check function, like other protocols do.
