[PATCH] crypto: user - fix memory leak in crypto_reportstat

From: Navid Emamdoost
Date: Fri Oct 04 2019 - 15:35:05 EST


In crypto_reportstat, a new skb is created by nlmsg_new(). This skb is
leaked if crypto_reportstat_alg() fails. Required release for skb is
added.

Fixes: cac5818c25d0 ("crypto: user - Implement a generic crypto statistics")
