Eric Dumazet d198b27762 Revert "Revert "ipv4: fix memory leaks in ip_cmsg_send() callers"" ...

This reverts commit d7807a9adf.

As mentioned in https://lkml.org/lkml/2021/9/13/1819
5 years old commit 919483096b ("ipv4: fix memory leaks in ip_cmsg_send() callers")
was a correct fix.

  ip_cmsg_send() can loop over multiple cmsghdr()

  If IP_RETOPTS has been successful, but following cmsghdr generates an error,
  we do not free ipc.ok

  If IP_RETOPTS is not successful, we have freed the allocated temporary space,
  not the one currently in ipc.opt.

Sure, code could be refactored, but let's not bring back old bugs.
