net: sched: do not requeue a NULL skb
[ Upstream commit 3dcd493f ] A failure in validate_xmit_skb_list() triggered an unconditional call to dev_requeue_skb with skb=NULL. This slowly grows the queue discipline's qlen count until all traffic through the queue stops. We take the optimistic approach and continue running the queue after a failure since it is unknown if later packets also will fail in the validate path.
