The sk_buff is only set to NULL when initialize, sometimes it will goto

label "begin", then it will return a sk_buff which is freed, it is a
risk for use-after-free.

I don't see any progress on this patch. Is there a problem with it ?
Did it get lost ?
Looks ok for me. But I just noticed that my patch
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20221230121850.218810-1-alexander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
should also fix the issue as an unintended side effect.
