Subject: [net V2 09/15] net/mlx5e: Avoid referencing skb after free-ing in drop path of mlx5e_sq_xmit_wqe

When SQ is a port timestamping SQ for PTP, do not access tx flags of skb
after free-ing the skb. Free the skb only after all references that depend
on it have been handled in the dropped WQE path.
