drop_monitor: convert some kfree_skb call sites to consume_skb
Convert a few calls from kfree_skb to consume_skb Noticed while I was working on dropwatch that I was detecting lots of internal skb drops in several places. While some are legitimate, several were not, freeing skbs that were at the end of their life, rather than being discarded due to an error. This patch converts those calls sites from using kfree_skb to consume_skb, which quiets the in-kernel drop_monitor code from detecting them as drops. Tested successfully by myself Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
