The bug is open here https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44631.
I would recommend closing it now as I seem to have fixed it.
Cheers Nick

Isn't kfree(NULL) legal?

(i.e. the if statement is useless)

We shouldn't be kfree-ing an skb anyway.  Should use kfree_skb().

There is still a leak if skb is non-null and the skb is non linear or 
cloned.
