Hi Fedor,

thank you for work.

This skb_get() is counter part of skb_unref()
j1939_session_skb_drop_old().

Initial issue can be reproduced by using real (slow) CAN with j1939cat[1]
tool. Both parts should be started to make sure the j1939_session_tx_dat() will
actually start using the queue. After pushing about 100K of data, application
will try to close the socket and exit. After socket is closed, all skb related
to this socket will be freed and j1939_session_tx_dat() will use freed skbs.

NACK for this patch.
