The freeing is added by the below patch:

commit: 8f9eed1a8791("net: hns3: fix for skb leak when doing selftest")

which is to fix a skb leak problem.

kfree_skb(skb) in the out label corresponds to alloc_skb(),
and kfree_skb(skb) removed in this patch corresponds to
skb_get(skb) before calling hns3_nic_net_xmit() when
hns3_nic_net_xmit() non-NETDEV_TX_OK.

So I do not think there is double free 'skb' here, unless
I miss something here?
