Linux Virtualization - Mar 2017 - [PATCH RFC] virtio_net: fix mergeable bufs error handling

On xdp error we try to free head_skb without having
initialized it, that's clearly bogus.

Fixes: f600b6905015 ("virtio_net: Add XDP support")

I'm cleaning up a bunch of issues in this code, thus
RFC, will test and post it all together.
