A null check is needed after all. netlink skbs can have skb->head be
backed by vmalloc. The netlink destructor vfree()s head, then sets it to
NULL. We then panic in skb_release_data with a NULL dereference.
Re-add such a test.
Alternative would be to switch to kvfree to free skb->head memory
and remove the special handling in netlink destructor.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
