Arjan van de Ven 1252ecf63f [ATM]: fix possible recursive locking in skb_migrate()
ok this is a real potential deadlock in a way, it takes two locks of 2
skbuffs without doing any kind of lock ordering; I think the following
patch should fix it. Just sort the lock taking order by address of the
skb.. it's not pretty but it's the best this can do in a minimally
invasive way.
