Hi Greg,
I'd appreciate if you can take this patch into 4.9-stable. There is no similar patch in tree, so this is not a backport.

A verdict of NF_STOLEN after NF_QUEUE will cause an incorrect return value and a potential kernel panic via double free of skb's
This was broken by commit 7034b566a4e7 ("netfilter: fix nf_queue handling") and subsequently fixed in v4.10 by commit c63cbc460419 ("netfilter: use switch() to handle verdict cases from nf_hook_slow()"). However that commit cannot be cleanly cherry-picked to v4.9

Thanks a lot!
This fix is only needed for v4.9 stable since v4.10+ does not have the issue
