You mean for this success path right. It is not freed here by the iscsi
code on purpose. For the code path here where we have successfully
called into the driver then a couple lines below we will do
iscsi_multicast_skb() -> nlmsg_multicast()
which will pass the skbhost_stats skb to the netlink layer. The
netlink/socket/skb code then frees it when it is done with it.
