Because kcm_wait_data() potentially unlinks now, you will have to kfree the
SKB in the error paths, for example if skb_copy_datagram_msg() fails.

Otherwise we have an SKB leak.

Yeah, it's kind of ugly that kcm_recvmsg() is going to become a pile of
conditional operations based upon the peek boolean. :-/
