When batadv_v_ogm_aggr_send is called for an inactive interface, the skb
is silently dropped by batadv_v_ogm_send_to_if() but never freed causing
the following memory leak:
unreferenced object 0xffff00000c164800 (size 512):
comm "kworker/u8:1", pid 2648, jiffies 4295122303 (age 97.656s)
hex dump (first 32 bytes):

1f 00 00 00 b8 00 00 00 15 00 05 00 da e3 d3 64 ...............d

Free the skb in that case to fix this leak.

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.
