It would be good if you first prepared a bug fix patch for the existing kernel stack memory leakage, and submit that to the net.git tree. The net.git is merged back into net-next.git every ~Thursday, and generally speaking, either you wait for bug fixes to land back into net-next before you submit new net-next material in the same areas, or the netdev and linux-next maintainers will have to resolve the merge conflict between trees manually. Not a huge deal, but it is kind of a nuisance for backports (to not be able to linearize a series of cherry picks) and all in all, it's best to organize your work such that you don't conflict with yourself.
