[PKT_SCHED] netem: Fix slab corruption with netem (2nd try)
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB found the following bug:
netem_enqueue() in sch_netem.c gets a pointer inside a slab object:
struct netem_skb_cb *cb = (struct netem_skb_cb *)skb->cb;
But then, the slab object may be freed:
skb = skb_unshare(skb, GFP_ATOMIC)
cb is still pointing inside the freed skb, so here is a patch to
initialize cb later, and make it clear that initializing it sooner
is a bad idea.
[From Stephen Hemminger: leave cb unitialized in order to let gcc
complain in case of use before initialization]
