The commit c5d1686b314e ("mac80211: add a function for running rx
without passing skbs to the stack") added a new function
ieee80211_rx_list() which uses the list attribute of the skbs, but they
were added only with kernel 4.19. Use the next pointer in the skb on
the older kernel instead. The list attributes where also backported to
4.14, but to make it easier, just use the next pointer also there.
