Subject: batman-adv: free skb on TVLV parsing success
From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 05c3c8a636aa9ee35ce13f65afc5b665615cc786 ]
When the TVLV parsing routine succeed the skb is left
untouched thus leading to a memory leak.
Fix this by consuming the skb in case of success.
