From: Pavel Skripkin <[email protected]>

commit c47cc304990a2813995b1a92bbc11d0bb9a19ea9 upstream.

Syzbot reported memory leak in kcm_sendmsg()[1]. The problem was in non-freed frag_list in case of error.

In the while loop:

	if (head == skb)
		skb_shinfo(head)->frag_list = tskb;
	else
		skb->next = tskb;

frag_list filled with skbs, but nothing was freeing them.

backtrace:
