[PATCH] connector: bump skb->users before callback invocation

From: Florian Westphal
Date: Thu Dec 31 2015 - 08:27:38 EST


Dmitry reports memleak with syskaller program.
Problem is that connector bumps skb usecount but might not invoke callback.

So move skb_get to where we invoke the callback.

I wonder wth userspace can cram skb->len < NLMSG_HDRLEN
down the kernel, it seems to beg for trouble...
