wireless/marvell/mwifiex: Fix a double free in mwifiex_send_tdls_action_frame

In mwifiex_send_tdls_action_frame, it calls mwifiex_construct_tdls_action_frame
(..,skb). The skb will be freed in mwifiex_construct_tdls_action_frame() when
it is failed. But when mwifiex_construct_tdls_action_frame() returns error,
the skb will be freed in the second time by dev_kfree_skb_any(skb).

My patch removes the redundant dev_kfree_skb_any(skb) when
mwifiex_construct_tdls_action_frame() failed.

Fixes: b23bce2965680 ("mwifiex: add tdls_mgmt handler support")

Hi,
  maintianers.

  Sorry to disturb you, but this patch seems to be missed more than two weeks.
  Could you help to review this patch? I am sure it won't take you much time.

Thanks.

You might take a look here:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches#checking_state_of_patches_from_patchwork
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/

Two weeks is not unheard of for waiting.

Anyway, you *did* succeed in catching my attention today, so I'll give
you a review, below:

Good catch, and this looks correct for most cases, but I'll note that
you missed one issue: mwifiex_construct_tdls_action_frame() has a
default/error case ("Unknown TDLS action frame type") which does *not*
free this SKB, so you should patch that up at the same time. Otherwise,
you're trading a double-free for a potential memory leak.

With that fixed:
