hyperv: Fix a bug in netvsc_start_xmit()
[ Upstream commit dedb845ded56ded1c62f5398a94ffa8615d4592d ] After the packet is successfully sent, we should not touch the skb as it may have been freed. This patch is based on the work done by Long Li <longli@microsoft.com>. In this version of the patch I have fixed issues pointed out by David. David, please queue this up for stable.
