net/caif/cfctrl.c:cfctrl_enum_req() does not check the return value of
the ->transmit() method.

The documentation for this method states that one error, ownership
of the packet is transferred back to the caller, which means that we
have a leak here.

Please fix this bug.

The documentation was unfortunately outdated.
I just sent a patch-set including a fix for this.

Thank you for reviewing this.
