This rxe_xmit_packet() looks a little bit awkward. It calls to
kfree_skb and returns ret = 0 after drop decision. It doesn't
free on error (ret != 0), but this rxe_requester does.

However in case of not error, the skb won't be released and goto
next_cqe will be called, which has a lot of exit paths without freeing
skb.

Moni, Yonatan
Is it done on purpose?
