Subject: [PATCH 12/39] do_mq_notify(): saner skb freeing on failures

From: [email-masked]
Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2024 01:15:58 -0400

From: Al Viro <[email-masked]>

cleanup is convoluted enough as it is; it's easier to have early
failure outs do explicit kfree_skb(nc), rather than going to
convolutions needed to reuse the cleanup from late failures.
