Subject: 8021q: fix a potential memory leak
From: Li RongQing <roy.qing.li@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 916c1689a09bc1ca81f2d7a34876f8d35aadd11b ]
skb_cow called in vlan_reorder_header does not free the skb when it failed,
and vlan_reorder_header returns NULL to reset original skb when it is called
in vlan_untag, lead to a memory leak.
