skb->dev might contain a stale reference to a device that was already deleted, and using it unchecked can lead to invalid pointer accesses. Since this is only used for nl80211 tx, iterate over active interfaces to find a match for skb->dev, and discard the tx status if the device is gone.
Nasty performance hit if we have lots of virtual interfaces, eh? Maybe some sort of ref-counting would be better? Or a hashed lookup on the netdev pointer/token?
