xen-netfront: restore __skb_queue_tail() positioning in xennet_get_responses()
The commit referenced below moved the invocation past the "next" label,
without any explanation. In fact this allows misbehaving backends undue
control over the domain the frontend runs in, as earlier detected errors
require the skb to not be freed (it may be retained for later processing
via xennet_move_rx_slot(), or it may simply be unsafe to have it freed).
This is CVE-2022-33743 / XSA-405.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to addi

An incomplete cleanup flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Xen networking XDP (eXpress Data Path) subsystem. This flaw allows a local user to crash the system.
Statement: Keeping this flaw Moderate, because only a denial of service is possible (A:H) as result of memory leak problem. The memory leak can happen because instead of removing skb, keeping it in the networking stack forever. The CVSS score is higher, than usually for Moderate, because kept "C:H" and "I:H"
