spidernet: null out skb pointer after its been used.
Avoid kernel crash in mm/slab.c due to double-free of pointer. If the ethernet interface is brought down while there is still RX traffic in flight, the device shutdown routine can end up trying to double-free an skb, leading to a crash in mm/slab.c Avoid the double-free by nulling out the skb pointer.
