Subject: tap: free skb if flags error
From: Wei Xu <wexu@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 61d78537843e676e7f56ac6db333db0c0529b892 ]
tap_recvmsg() supports accepting skb by msg_control after
commit 3b4ba04acca8 ("tap: support receiving skb from msg_control"),
the skb if presented should be freed within the function, otherwise
it would be leaked.
