batman-adv: Fix double free during fragment merge error
The function batadv_frag_skb_buffer was supposed not to consume the skbuff on errors. This was followed in the helper function batadv_frag_insert_packet when the skb would potentially be inserted in the fragment queue. But it could happen that the next helper function batadv_frag_merge_packets would try to merge the fragments and fail. This results in a kfree_skb of all the enqueued fragments (including the just inserted one). batadv_recv_frag_packet would detect the error in batadv_frag_skb_buffer and try to free the skb again. The behavior of batadv_frag_skb_buffer (and its helper batadv_frag_insert_packet) must therefore be changed to always consume the skbuff to have a common behavior and avoid the double kfree_skb.
