[NET] pktgen: Fix races between control/worker threads.
There's a race in pktgen which can lead to a double free of a pktgen_dev's skb. If a worker thread is in the midst of doing fill_packet(), and the controlling thread gets a "stop" message, the already freed skb can be freed once again in pktgen_stop_device(). This patch gives all responsibility for cleaning up a pktgen_dev's skb to the associated worker thread.
