After calling lowpan_invoke_rx_handlers we will do a kfree_skb and then NET_RX_DROP on error handling. We don't do this before, also on skb_share_check/skb_unshare which might manipulate the reference counters. After running some 'grep -r "dev_add_pack" net/' to look how others packet-layer receive callbacks works I detected that every subsystem do a kfree_skb, then NET_RX_DROP without calling skb functions which might manipulate the skb reference counters. This is the reason why we should do the same here like all others subsystems. I didn't find any documentation how the packet-layer receive callbacks handle NET_RX_DROP return values either. This patch will add a kfree_skb, then NET_RX_DROP handling for the "trivial checks", in case of skb_share_check/skb_unshare the kfree_skb call will be done inside these functions.
