Subject: [PATCH wpan-next v2 1/3] mac802154: Move an skb free within the rx path

It may appear clearer to free the skb at the end of the path rather than
in the middle, within a helper.

Move kfree_skb() from the end of __ieee802154_rx_handle_packet() to
right after it in the calling function ieee802154_rx(). Doing so implies
reworking a little bit the exit path.
