Subject: [PATCH v2 net] net: qualcomm: rmnet: Fix a double free

There is a typo here so we accidentally free "skb" instead of "skbn".
It leads to a double free and a leak.  After discussing with Subash,
it's better to just move the check before the allocation and avoid the
need to free.

Fixes: ceed73a2cf4a ("drivers: net: ethernet: qualcomm: rmnet: Initial implementation")

v2: Fix the leak as well.  Thanks Subash!
