This code is called from the error path for transmit timestamps.

We can make use of the fact that SKB_EXT_ERR used on enqueue has iif as
the first field in its control block. This also holds for the PKTINFO_SKB_CB
struct to which skb->cb is cast on dequeue when it copies pktinfo to userspace.
So if set on enqueue in __skb_complete_tx_timestamp, no conversion operation
is even needed on dequeue, let alone the currently buggy line that touches
skb->dev.

This iif cast was added for this purpose in the receive path in 0b922b7a829c
("net: original ingress device index in PKTINFO").

The device pointer is valid on enqueue for all paths called from device drivers,
as well as from dev_queue_xmit for SCM_TSTAMP_SCHED generation in
__dev_queue_xmit. The exception is SCM_TSTAMP_ACK generation, but
there skb->dev is NULL.

The v6 path does need a conversion, but already does this in
ip6_datagram_recv_common_ctl. There, too, we can remove the buggy
logic to set it from skb->dev->ifindex in ip6_datagram_support_cmsg.

I will send a patch.
