Don't the sg's have to be different? Aren't they both altered by the process
of reading/writing from them?

???? I assume you're assuming that the rxrpc_skb_priv struct contents can
arbitrarily replaced temporarily...

And using an XCHG-equivalent instruction? This won't work on a 32-bit arch
(apart from one that sports CMPXCHG8 or similar).

This should be a separate patch.
