Summary
net: team: free skb when broadcast has no txable port
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: team: free skb when broadcast has no txable port

bc_transmit() sends the original skb through the last txable port. When no port is txable, it returns false without consuming the skb, but team_xmit() still returns NETDEV_TX_OK. AF_PACKET sends then retain the skb and its socket write-memory charge.

A TX-enabled, link-down port keeps the broadcast transmit op installed. Carrier can stay up through a second link-up, TX-disabled port or be forced on by userspace. Free the original skb on the no-port path while leaving the existing drop accounting intact.

Discovered by Sashiko during review of previous commit.
