packet execute is setting egress_tun_info in skb->cb, rather
than packet->cb. skb is netlink msg skb. This causes corruption
in netlink skb state stored in skb->cb (NETLINK_CB) which
results in following deadlock in netlink code.

---------------------------------------------
handler55/22851 is trying to acquire lock:
(genl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81471ad7>] genl_lock+0x17/0x20
but task is already holding lock:
(genl_mutex){+.+.+.}, at: [<ffffffff81471ad7>] genl_lock+0x17/0x20
other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(genl_mutex);

May be due to missing lock nesting notation
