A status field in the skb_cb struct was storing a channel status based on channel suspend/resume events. This stored status was then used to return EAGAIN if there were packet sending issues in snd_pkt(). The issue is that the skb has been freed by the time the callback to 6lowpan's suspend/resume was called. So, this generates a "use after free" issue that was noticed while running kernel tests with KASAN debug enabled. Let's eliminate the status field entirely as we can use the channel tx_credits to indicate whether we should return EAGAIN when handling packets.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
