Considering more deeply about why your checker claimed that vlan_untag()
in br_allowed_ingress() is bad, I got an idea that it should have
pointed out not resource leakage but double free of skb.

vlan_untag() may free skbs, but we also free skbs in caller side
(br_handle_frame_finish()) without updating skb pointers to NULL.

I'll also fix this problem.
