SubjectRe: [PATCH] tcpdump may trace some outbound packets twice.

I still very much dislike this patch because it is creating
1 more clone per packet than is actually necessary and that
is very expensive.

dev_queue_xmit_nit() is going to clone whatever SKB you send into
there, so better to just bump the reference count (with skb_get())
instead of cloning or copying.
