[lvc-project] [PATCH] net: kcm: use previously opened message only once

When syzkaller reproducer injects 'alloc_skb()' failure at line
817, 'kcm_sendmsg()' may return with partial message saved at
'kcm->seq_skb'. Next call of this function will try to build the
next message starting from the saved one, but should do it only
once. Otherwise a complete mess in skb management causes an
undefined behavior of any kind, including UAFs reported by KASAN.

Fixes: ab7ac4eb9832 ("kcm: Kernel Connection Multiplexor module")

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=b72d86aa5df17ce74c60
