With this commit, the list's lock is locked/unlocked only once
for the duration of `skb_queue_purge()'.
Hitherto, the list's lock has been locked/unlocked every time
an item is dequeued; this seems not only inefficient, but also
incorrect, as the whole point of `skb_queue_purge()' is to clear
the list, presumably without giving anything else a chance to
manipulate the list in the interim.
