commit c47cc304990a2813995b1a92bbc11d0bb9a19ea9 upstream.

Syzbot reported memory leak in kcm_sendmsg()[1]. The problem was in non-freed frag_list in case of error.

In the while loop:

if (head == skb) skb_shinfo(head)->frag_list = tskb; else skb->next = tskb;

frag_list filled with skbs, but nothing was freeing them.

backtrace: [<0000000094c02615>] __alloc_skb+0x5e/0x250 net/core/skbuff.c:198 [<00000000e5386cbd>] alloc_skb include/linux/skbuff.h:1083 [inline] [<00000000e5386cbd>] kcm_sendmsg+0x3b6/0xa50 net/kcm/kcmsock.c:967 [1] [<00000000f1613a8a>] sock_sendmsg_nosec net/socket.c:652 [inline] [<00000000f1613a8a>] sock_sendmsg+0x4c/0x60 net/socket.c:672
