During a reset, there may have been transmits in flight that are no
longer valid and cannot be fulfilled. Resetting and clearing the
queues is insufficient; each skb also needs to be explicitly freed
so that upper levels are not left waiting for confirmation of a
transmit that will never happen. If this happens frequently enough,
the apparent backlog will cause TCP to begin "congestion control"
unnecessarily, culminating in permanently decreased throughput.
