Bluetooth: btmrvl: skb resource leak, and double free.

if btmrvl_tx_pkt() is called, and the branch
  if (skb_headroom(skb) < BTM_HEADER_LEN)
evaluates positive, a new skb is allocated via skb_realloc_headroom.

The original skb is stored in a tmp variable, before being free'd.
However on success, the new skb, is not free'd, nor is it
returned to the caller which will then double-free the original skb.

This issue exists from the original driver submission in
 commit: #132ff4e5fa8dfb71a7d99902f88043113947e972

If this code path had been alive, it would have been noted from the
double-free causing a panic.

All skb's here should be allocated through bt_skb_alloc which
adds 8 bytes as headroom, which is plenty against the 4 bytes
pushed on by this driver.

This code path is dead, and buggy at the same time, so the cleanest
approach is to remove the affected branch.
