kcm: Fix memory leak in error path of kcm_sendmsg()
[ Upstream commit c821a88bd720b0046433173185fd841a100d44ad ]
syzbot reported a memory leak like below:

In kcm_sendmsg(), kcm_tx_msg(head)->last_skb is used as a cursor to append
newly allocated skbs to 'head'. If some bytes are copied, an error occurred,
and jumped to out_error label, 'last_skb' is left unmodified. A later
kcm_sendmsg() will use an obsoleted 'last_skb' reference, corrupting the
'head' frag_list and causing the leak.
This patch fixes this issue by properly updating the last allocated skb in
'last_skb'.
