Subject: team: Fix double free in error path
From: Arkadi Sharshevsky <arkadis@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit cbcc607e18422555db569b593608aec26111cb0b ]
The __send_and_alloc_skb() receives a skb ptr as a parameter but in
case it fails the skb is not valid:
- Send failed and released the skb internally.
- Allocation failed.
The current code tries to release the skb in case of failure which
causes redundant freeing.
Fixes: 9b00cf2d1024 ("team: implement multipart netlink messages for options transfers")
