tipc: eliminate potential memory leak
In the function tipc_sk_mcast_rcv() we call refcount_dec(&skb->users) on received sk_buffers. Since the reference counter might hit zero at this point, we have a potential memory leak. We fix this by replacing refcount_dec() with kfree_skb(). Signed-off-by: Jon Maloy <jon.maloy@ericsson.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
