Subject: mlxsw: spectrum: Fix memory leak at skb reallocation

From: Arkadi Sharshevsky <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 36bf38d158d3482119b3e159c0619b3c1539b508 ]

During transmission the skb is checked for headroom in order to add vendor specific header. In case the skb needs to be re-allocated, skb_realloc_headroom() is called to make a private copy of the original, but doesn't release it. Current code assumes that the original skb is released during reallocation and only releases it at the error path which causes a memory leak.

Fix this by adding the original skb release to the main path.
