skb->rbnode is sharing three skb fields : next, prev, dev
When a packet is sent, TCP keeps the original skb (master)
in a rtx queue, which was converted to rbtree a while back.
__tcp_transmit_skb() is responsible to clone the master skb,
and add the TCP header to the clone before sending it
to network layer.
skb_clone() already clears skb->next and skb->prev, but copies
the master oskb->dev into the clone.
We need to clear skb->dev, otherwise lower layers could interpret
the value as a pointer to a netdev.
This old bug surfaced recently when commit 28f8bfd1ac94
("netfilter: Support iif matches in POSTROUTING") was merged.
Before this netfilter commit, skb->dev value was ignored and
changed before reaching dev_queue_xmit()
Fixes: 75c119afe14f ("tcp: implement rb-tree based retransmit queue")
Fixes: 28f8bfd1ac94 ("netfilter: Support iif matches in POSTROUTING")
