netdevsim: drop PSP ext ref on forward failure
nsim_do_psp() takes an extra reference to the PSP skb extension so the extension survives __dev_forward_skb(). That forward path scrubs the skb and drops attached skb extensions before nsim_psp_handle_ext() can reattach the PSP metadata. If __dev_forward_skb() fails in nsim_forward_skb(), the function returns before nsim_psp_handle_ext() can attach that extension to the skb, leaving the extra reference leaked. Drop the saved PSP extension reference before returning from the forward-failure path. Guard the put because plain or non-decapsulated traffic can also fail forwarding without ever taking the extra PSP reference.
