This patch checks if we are getting a Null allocated skb in the while/do
loop of this function. Further more no reference checking is needing
as skb_put is only working with the packet defined by skb and not allocating
a new one. Further more I am breaking out of the loop in order to make sure
we call nic_write_byte and cause no errors with writing the nic byte(s) of
private date and then call rt_status which I changed to false in the loop
with my additon of checking the allocated skb.
