The SKB drop reason uses __builtin_return_address(0) to give the call
"location" to trace_kfree_skb() tracepoint skb:kfree_skb.
To keep this stable for compilers kfree_skb_reason() is annotated with
__fix_address (noinline __noclone) as fixed in commit c205cc7534a9
("net: skb: prevent the split of kfree_skb_reason() by gcc").
The function kfree_skb_list_reason() invoke kfree_skb_reason(), which
cause the __builtin_return_address(0) "location" to report the
unexpected address of kfree_skb_list_reason.
Example output from 'perf script':
kpktgend_0 1337 [000] 81.002597: skb:kfree_skb: skbaddr=0xffff888144824700 protocol=2048 location=kfree_skb_list_reason+0x1e reason: QDISC_DROP
Patch creates an __always_inline __kfree_skb_reason() helper call that
is called from both kfree_skb_list() and kfree_skb_list_reason().
Suggestions for solutions that shares code better are welcome.
As preparation for next patch move __kfree_skb() invocation out of
this helper function.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
