virtio_net: skb_orphan() and nf_reset() in xmit path.
The complex transmit free logic was introduced to avoid hangs on
removing the ip_conntrack module and also because drivers aren't
generally supposed to keep stale skbs for unbounded times.
After some debate, it was decided that while doing skb_orphan()
generally is a rat's nest, we can do it in this driver. Following
patches take advantage of this.
