Right, bugger. I was thinking maybe there's a case where skbs can be
cloned (and retain the tx_time_est field) and then released twice? Or
maybe somewhere that steps on the skb->cb field in some other way?
Couldn't find anything obvious on a first perusal of the TX path code,
but maybe you could think of something?

Otherwise I guess we'll be forced to go and do some actual,
old-fashioned debugging ;)
