The sk_buff needs to preserved for copying to various parts of context and passing back to mac80211 clone sk_buff in context so to continue to writing to orginal sk_buff data area to send in vnt_tx_context. dev_kfree_skb the context on error or dev_kfree_skb the orignal when done. The error handling continues as before. Only one place in function needs to change from ieee80211_get_hdrlen_from_skb to ieee80211_hdrlen(hdr) which is already to pointing to correct position.
