I don't know about socket but I allocate myself the skbuff and I set the
destructor (and previously the pointer value is NULL). So I don't overwrite
a destructor.

I believe net/core/sock.c is not involved in my problem but I can be wrong.
What is worrying me is that I don't know who clones my skbuff and why.

To said everything, I know who clones my skbuff because it causes a oops
when it tries to free my buffer If I use my destructor.
