Other code manipulating lists uses splice operation and
a sk_buff_head temporary on the stack. That would be easier
to understand.
struct sk_buf_head head;
__skb_queue_head_init(&head);
spin_lock_irqsave(&q->lock, flags);
skb_queue_splice_init(q, &head);
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&q->lock, flags);

It would be cleaner if you could use
skb_queue_walk_safe rather than open coding the loop.
skb_queue_walk_safe(&head, skb, tmp)
kfree_skb(skb);
