If skb is NULL, then stack trace is thrown anyway on dereference.
Therefore, the stack trace triggered by BUG_ON is duplicate.

Applied, but please make patches like this against the net-next tree
in which the af_packet.c code had changed quite a bit and therefore
I had to munch your patch to get it to apply.
