nfc_tm_data_received will free skb internally when it fails. There is no
need to free skb in st21nfca_im_recv_dep_res_cb again.

Fix this by setting skb to NULL when nfc_tm_data_received fails.

Note that 'skb' not used (nor freed) by this function after this point:
the next 'break' statement refears to the inner switch, and land to the
execution flow to the 'return' statement a few lines below.
kfree_skb(skb) is never reached.

My fault. I messed up two switch statements. I will be more careful next time.
