Subject: bpf: Massive skbuff_head_cache memory leak?

Hello.

syzbot is reporting many lockup problems on bpf.git / bpf-next.git / net.git / net-next.git trees.

The cause of lockup seems to be flood of printk() messages from memory allocation
failures, and one of out_of_memory() messages indicates that skbuff_head_cache
usage is huge enough to suspect in-kernel memory leaks.

Unfortunately, we cannot find from logs what syzbot is trying to do
because constant printk() messages is flooding away syzkaller messages.
Can you try running your testcases with kmemleak enabled?
