Subject: [PATCH] wifi: rtl8xxxu: don't call dev_kfree_skb() under spin_lock_irqsave()

It is not allowed to call consume_skb() from hardware interrupt context
                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ kfree_skb()?
because this patch is to replace dev_kfree_skb().

or with interrupts being disabled. So replace dev_kfree_skb() with
dev_consume_skb_irq() under spin_lock_irqsave(). Compile tested only.

Why not dev_kfree_skb_irq() instead? any reason?
#define dev_kfree_skb(a)        consume_skb(a)
dev_kfree_skb() is consume_skb(), so use dev_consume_skb_irq() instead.

static inline void dev_kfree_skb_irq(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
        __dev_kfree_skb_irq(skb, SKB_REASON_DROPPED);
}

static inline void dev_consume_skb_irq(struct sk_buff *skb)
{
        __dev_kfree_skb_irq(skb, SKB_REASON_CONSUMED);
}
They have different free reasons.

Thanks,
Yang
