virtio: fix virtio_net xmit of freed skb bug

If we fail to transmit a packet, we assume the queue is full and put
the skb into last_xmit_skb.  However, if more space frees up before we
xmit it, we loop, and the result can be transmitting the same skb twice.

Fix is simple: set skb to NULL if we've used it in some way, and check
before sending.
