====================================

HCI core will uses hci_rx_work() to process frame, which is queued to
the hdev->rx_q tail in hci_recv_frame() by HCI driver.

Yet the problem is that, HCI core does not free the skb after handling
ACL data packets. To be more specific, when start fragment does not
contain the L2CAP length, HCI core just reads possible bytes and
finishes frame process in l2cap_recv_acldata(), without freeing the skb,
which triggers the above memory leak.

This patch solves it by releasing the relative skb, after processing the
above case in l2cap_recv_acldata()
