Remi Pommarel ea38c0d9aa batman-adv: Fix batadv_v_ogm_aggr_send memory leak 
commit 421d467dc2 upstream.

When batadv_v_ogm_aggr_send is called for an inactive interface, the skb
is silently dropped by batadv_v_ogm_send_to_if() but never freed causing
the following memory leak:

  unreferenced object 0xffff00000c164800 (size 512):
    comm "kworker/u8:1", pid 2648, jiffies 4295122303 (age 97.656s)
    hex dump (first 32 bytes):
      00 80 af 09 00 00 ff ff e1 09 00 00 75 01 60 83  ............u.`.
      1f 00 00 00 b8 00 00 00 15 00 05 00 da e3 d3 64  ...............d
    backtrace:

Free the skb in that case to fix this leak.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
