Subject: brcmfmac: Fix glom_skb leak in brcmf_sdiod_recv_chain

From: Peter S. Housel <[email protected]>

commit 5ea59db8a375216e6c915c5586f556766673b5a7 upstream.

An earlier change to this function (3bdae810721b) fixed a leak in the case of an unsuccessful call to brcmf_sdiod_buffrw(). However, the glom_skb buffer, used for emulating a scattering read, is never used or referenced after its contents are copied into the destination buffers, and therefore always needs to be freed by the end of the function.

Fixes 3bdae810721b ("brcmfmac: Fix glob_skb leak in brcmf_sdiod_recv_chain")
Fixes a413e39a38573 ("brcmfmac: fix brcmf_sdcard_recv_chain() for host without sg support")
