[PATCH 5/5] batman-adv: Fix batadv_v_ogm_aggr_send memory leak

From: Remi Pommarel <redacted>

When batadv_v_ogm_aggr_send is called for an inactive interface, the skb
is silently dropped by batadv_v_ogm_send_to_if() but never freed causing
the following memory leak:

  unreferenced object 0xffff00000c164800 (size 512):
    comm "kworker/u8:1", pid 2648, jiffies 4295122303 (age 97.656s)
    hex dump (first 32 bytes):
      00 80 af 09 00 00 ff ff e1 09 00 00 75 01 60 83  ............u.`.
      1f 00 00 00 b8 00 00 00 15 00 05 00 da e3 d3 64  ...............d
    backtrace:

      [<000000000c587d3a>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20

Free the skb in that case to fix this leak.
