From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@xxxxxxxxx> Netlink doesn't account skbs to the sending socket, so the there's no need to orphan the skb before trimming it. Removing the skb_orphan() call is required for mmap'ed netlink, which uses a netlink specific skb destructor that must not be invoked before the final freeing of the skb.
