3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Alexander Aring <alex.ar...@gmail.com>

commit b0c42cd7b210efc74aa4bfc3e39a2814dfaa9b89 upstream.

This patch reverts commit:

a7807d73 ("Bluetooth: 6lowpan: Avoid memory leak if memory allocation
fails")

which was wrong suggested by Alexander Aring. The function skb_unshare
run also kfree_skb on failure.
