I will do this step by step.

1. call skb_unshare

2. check if cloned

3. call skb_copy

4. call __alloc_skb

5. __alloc_skb return NULL

6. assign to temp nskb;

7. parameter skb will be freed. kfree_skb(skb).

8. skb = nskb;

9. return skb;

So I see that kfree_skb(skb) is always called also on failure.

So your code seems to be correct. This is a lack of documentation.
