[PATCH net v4 1/2] net/x25: Fix potential double free of skb

[Martin Schiller <ms@dev.tdt.de>]

When alloc_skb fails in x25_queue_rx_frame it calls kfree_skb(skb) at
line 48 and returns 1 (error).
This error propagates back through the call chain:

x25_queue_rx_frame returns 1
    |
    v
x25_state3_machine receives the return value 1 and takes the else
branch at line 278, setting queued=0 and returning 0
    |
    v
x25_process_rx_frame returns queued=0
    |
    v
x25_backlog_rcv at line 452 sees queued=0 and calls kfree_skb(skb)
again

This would free the same skb twice. Looking at x25_backlog_rcv:

net/x25/x25_in.c:x25_backlog_rcv() {
    ...
    queued = x25_process_rx_frame(sk, skb);
    ...
    if (!queued)
        kfree_skb(skb);
}
