The caller of rtl8169_tso_csum_v2() frees the skb if false is returned.
eth_skb_pad() internally frees the skb on error what would result in a
double free. Therefore use __skb_put_padto() directly and instruct it
to not free the skb on error.

Fixes: 	25e992a4603c ("r8169: rename r8169.c to r8169_main.c")

The Fixes tag refers to the change from which on the patch applies.
However it will apply with a little fuzz only on versions up to 5.9.

I think we've been over this, please provide real fixes tags, pointing
to where bugs were introduced. I swapped the tag for:

Fixes: b423e9ae49d7 ("r8169: fix offloaded tx checksum for small packets.")

and applied, thanks.
