Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH 6/6] net: fix double skb free in dcbnl

From: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@...el.com>

netlink_unicast() calls kfree_skb even in the error case.

dcbnl calls netlink_unicast() which when it fails free's the
skb and returns an error value.  dcbnl is free'ing the skb
again when this error occurs.  This patch removes the double
free.
