I think tc_verd is yet another instance of something the
classifier layer is storing in the SKB which belongs in
function parameters and return values.

input_dev, tc_verd, etc. they are all sitting in the SKB
because nobody bothered to add them to the ->queue() and
clasification code path function arguments and return values

In fact most of the excess in SKB is of this nature, pure
parameter passing.
