Qingfang Deng 1d8b354eaf ppp: fix memory leak in pad_compress_skb 
[ Upstream commit 4844123fe0 ]

If alloc_skb() fails in pad_compress_skb(), it returns NULL without
releasing the old skb. The caller does:

    skb = pad_compress_skb(ppp, skb);
    if (!skb)
        goto drop;

drop:
    kfree_skb(skb);

When pad_compress_skb() returns NULL, the reference to the old skb is
lost and kfree_skb(skb) ends up doing nothing, leading to a memory leak.

Align pad_compress_skb() semantics with realloc(): only free the old
skb if allocation and compression succeed.  At the call site, use the
new_skb variable so the original skb is not lost when pad_compress_skb()
fails.
