Subject: [PATCH net] net/netfilter: bpf: avoid leakage of skb

From: "D. Wythe" <alibuda@...ux.alibaba.com>

A malicious eBPF program can interrupt the subsequent processing of
a skb by returning an exceptional retval, and no one will be responsible
for releasing the very skb.

Moreover, normal programs can also have the demand to return NF_STOLEN,
usually, the hook needs to take responsibility for releasing this skb
itself, but currently, there is no such helper function to achieve that.
Ignoring NF_STOLEN will also lead to skb leakage.

Fixes: fd9c663b9ad6 ("bpf: minimal support for programs hooked into netfilter framework")
