Shigeru Yoshida c821a88bd7 kcm: Fix memory leak in error path of kcm_sendmsg()
syzbot reported a memory leak like below:

In kcm_sendmsg(), kcm_tx_msg(head)->last_skb is used as a cursor to append
newly allocated skbs to 'head'. If some bytes are copied, an error occurred,
and jumped to out_error label, 'last_skb' is left unmodified. A later
kcm_sendmsg() will use an obsoleted 'last_skb' reference, corrupting the
'head' frag_list and causing the leak.

This patch fixes this issue by properly updating the last allocated skb in
'last_skb'.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
