hwsim_hw_xmit fails to deallocate the newskb copied by pskb_copy. Fix
this by adding kfree_skb after ieee802154_rx_irqsafe.

sorry, I don't get the fix. Is this a memory leak? I remember there
was something reported by syzkaller [0] but I wasn't able yet to get
into it. Is it what you referring to?
__pskb_copy_fclone() shows "The returned buffer has a reference count
of 1" and ieee802154_rx_irqsafe() will queue the skb for a tasklet.
With your patch it will be immediately freed and a use after free will
occur. I believe there is something wrong in the error path of
802.15.4 frame parsing and that's why we sometimes have a leaks there.
I need to test this patch, but I don't get how this patch is supposed
to fix the issue.

Yes, you're right.
I get this memory leak many times in my local syzkaller instance but
do not recognize there is already a bug report in the syzbot
dashboard.

Thanks for your feedback. I am sorry about this fix since I did not
observe UAF in my testing.
I will keep learning more materials about socket in Linux kernel. :)

Should be yes, it occurs many times in my local syzkaller instance.

This patch should be incorrect. Please directly focus on bug reports
on the syzbot dashboard. If possible, please cc me your final patch
about this bug. I can learn something from this bug.
