[PATCH] net:tipc: Fix a double free in tipc_sk_mcast_rcv

From: Lv Yunlong <hidden>
Date: 2021-03-28 07:31:44

In the if(skb_peek(arrvq) == skb) branch, it calls __skb_dequeue(arrvq) to get
the skb by skb = skb_peek(arrvq). Then __skb_dequeue() unlinks the skb from arrvq
and returns the skb which equals to skb_peek(arrvq). After __skb_dequeue(arrvq)
finished, the skb is freed by kfree_skb(__skb_dequeue(arrvq)) in the first time.

Unfortunately, the same skb is freed in the second time by kfree_skb(skb) after
the branch completed.

My patch removes kfree_skb() in the if(skb_peek(arrvq) == skb) branch, because
this skb will be freed by kfree_skb(skb) finally.

Fixes: cb1b728096f54 ("tipc: eliminate race condition at multicast reception")
