gianfar: fix potential sk_wmem_alloc imbalance

Browse source

commit db83d136d7 (gianfar: Fix missing sock reference when
processing TX time stamps) added a potential sk_wmem_alloc imbalance

If the new skb has a different truesize than old one, we can get a
negative sk_wmem_alloc once new skb is orphaned at TX completion.

Now we no longer early orphan skbs in dev_hard_start_xmit(), this
probably can lead to fatal bugs.
