From: Cong Wang <cong.wang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> NF_HOOK_LIST() uses list_del() to remove skb from the linked list, however, it is not sufficient as skb->next still points to other skb. We should just call skb_list_del_init() to clear skb->next, like the rest places which using skb list. This has been fixed in upstream by commit ca58fbe06c54 ("netfilter: add and use nf_hook_slow_list()").
