Introduce a second skb list for handling control messages and limit the
number of allowed messages. Some control messages are considered more
crucial than others, resulting in the need for a second skb list. By
splitting the list into a separate high and low priority list we can
ensure that messages on the high list get added to the head of the list
that gets processed, this however has no functional impact. Previously
there was no limit on the number of messages allowed on the queue, this
could result in the queue growing boundlessly and eventually the host
running out of memory.
