Hello Florian,

the other callers use it in the same way so it's a good simplification.
Btw. the name of sock_efree() is a bit misleading - nothing is free'd here.

Won't it be better to rename sock_efree(skb) with sock_put_skb(skb) or 
something like that? sock_efree() has no comment why it's named like this.

Regards,
Oliver

ps. changed from linux ML to netdev and linux-can ML in CC
