[PATCH net-next v2 6/6] net: dsa: factor skb freeing on xmit

From: Vivien Didelot
Date: Tue May 30 2017 - 14:37:37 EST


The taggers are currently responsible to free the original SKB if they
made a copy of it, or in case of error.

This patch simplifies this by freeing the original SKB in the
dsa_slave_xmit caller, but only if an error (NULL) is returned.

It is still the responsibility of the tagger to free the original SKB if
it returned a copy of it.

At the same time, fix the checkpatch NULL comparison check:

CHECK: Comparison to NULL could be written "!nskb"
#208: FILE: net/dsa/tag_trailer.c:35:
+ if (nskb == NULL)
