igb: remove skb_orphan calls
Remove skb_orphan call from igb driver as it can cause multiple issues due to the fact that it is calling the desctructor and removing the skb from the socket prior to transmission. The call was added to improve performance but did so by allowing the skb to be removed from the socket which gave the socket more window space to transmit. The performance gain is not worth the extra problems that this kind of workaround can introduce as this could lead to a potential DoS if a UDP stream decided to monopolize the transmit path.
