    Convert a few calls from kfree_skb to consume_skb
    
    Noticed while I was working on dropwatch that I was detecting lots of internal
    skb drops in several places.  While some are legitimate, several were not,
    freeing skbs that were at the end of their life, rather than being discarded due
    to an error.  This patch converts those calls sites from using kfree_skb to
    consume_skb, which quiets the in-kernel drop_monitor code from detecting them as
    drops.  Tested successfully by myself
