[net 1/1] tipc: eliminate potential memory leak

[Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com>]

In the function tipc_sk_mcast_rcv() we call refcount_dec(&skb->users)
on received sk_buffers. Since the reference counter might hit zero at
this point, we have a potential memory leak.

We fix this by replacing refcount_dec() with kfree_skb().
