net: mctp: put sock on tag allocation failure
[ Upstream commit 9990889be14288d4f1743e4768222d5032a79c27 ]
We may hold an extra reference on a socket if a tag allocation fails: we
optimistically allocate the sk_key, and take a ref there, but do not
drop if we end up not using the allocated key.
Ensure we're dropping the sock on this failure by doing a proper unref
rather than directly kfree()ing.
