Hi Geliang,

Thank you for the quick follow up!

I suggest to add a bit more text to have a clear explanation about why
it is clean-up and not a fix, e.g.

  The skb has been created by nlmsg_new(). The proper free should then
  be done with nlmsg_free().

  For the moment, nlmsg_free() is simply calling kfree_skb() so we
  don't change the behaviour here.

I can modify the commit message when applying the patch, no need to send
a v2 ;-)

Cheers,
Matt
