[PATCH] net/rxrpc: Fix a use after free in rxrpc_input_packet

In the case RXRPC_PACKET_TYPE_DATA of rxrpc_input_packet, if
skb_unshare(skb,..) failed, it will free the skb and return NULL.
But if skb_unshare() return NULL, the freed skb will be used by
rxrpc_eaten_skb(skb,..).

I see that rxrpc_eaten_skb() is used to drop a ref of skb. As the skb
is already freed in skb_unshare() on error, my patch removes the
rxrpc_eaten_skb() to avoid the uaf.

Fixes: d0d5c0cd1e711 ("rxrpc: Use skb_unshare() rather than skb_cow_data()")
