This reverts commit 8a83a00b0735190384a348156837918271034144.

It causes regressions for S390 devices, because it does an
unconditional DST drop on SKBs for vlans and the QETH device
needs the neighbour entry hung off the DST for certain things
on transmit.

Arnd can't remember exactly why he even needed this change.

commit c57b5468406 (pktgen: fix crash at module unload) did a very poor
job with list primitives.

1) list_splice() arguments were in the wrong order

initialized.

3) We should use the list_splice_init() variant to clear pktgen_threads
