Subject: [tipc-discussion] [net v1 1/4] tipc: fix potential memory leak in __tipc_sendmsg()

When initiating a connection message to a server side, the connection
message is cloned and added to the socket write queue. However, if the
cloning is failed, only the socket write queue is purged. It causes
memory leak because the original connection message is not freed.

This commit fixes it by purging the list of connection message when
it cannot be cloned.
