In qlcnic_alloc_rx_skb(), when dma_map_single() fails, skb is freed
immediately. And skb could be freed again. This issue could allow a
local attacker to crash the system due to a use-after-free flaw.

Hi Ma Ke,

I am a unclear on how skb could be freed a second time.
skb is a local variable which goes out of scope when
the function returns.
