From: Xie He <xie.he.0141@xxxxxxxxx> commit d362fd0be456dba2d3d58a90b7a193962776562b upstream. This reverts commit 1b479fb80160 ("drivers/net/wan/hdlc_fr: Fix a double free in pvc_xmit"). 1. This commit is incorrect. "__skb_pad" will NOT free the skb on failure when its "free_on_error" parameter is "false". 2. This commit claims to fix my commit. But it didn't CC me??
