[D][SRU][PATCH 1/1] p54: fix crash during initialization

This patch fixes a crash that got introduced when the
mentioned patch replaced  the direct list_head access
with skb_peek_tail(). When the device is starting up,
there are  no entries in  the queue, so previously to
"Use skb_peek_tail() instead..." the target_skb would
end up as the  tail and head pointer which then could
be used by __skb_queue_after to fill the empty queue.

With skb_peek_tail() in its place will instead just
return NULL which then causes a crash in the
__skb_queue_after().
