ppp: fix memory leak in pad_compress_skb
[ Upstream commit 4844123fe0b853a4982c02666cb3fd863d701d50 ]
If alloc_skb() fails in pad_compress_skb(), it returns NULL without
releasing the old skb. The caller does:
skb = pad_compress_skb(ppp, skb);
if (!skb)
goto drop;
drop:
kfree_skb(skb);
When pad_compress_skb() returns NULL, the reference to the old skb is
lost and kfree_skb(skb) ends up doing nothing, leading to a memory leak.
Align pad_compress_skb() semantics with realloc(): only free the old
skb if allocation and compression succeed. At the call site, use the
new_skb variable so the original skb is not lost when pad_compress_skb()
fails.
