Subject: [PATCH net-next v3] packet: uses kfree_skb() for errors.

From: Weongyo Jeong <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2016 09:25:48 -0700

consume_skb() isn't for error cases that kfree_skb() is more proper
one.  At this patch, it fixed tpacket_rcv() and packet_rcv() to be
consistent for error or non-error cases letting perf trace its event
properly.
