This function frees a datagram skbuff that was received by
skb_recv_datagram. The flags argument must match the one
used for skb_recv_datagram.
</p><p>
If the MSG_PEEK flag is set, and the packet is still on the
receive queue of the socket, it will be taken off the queue
before it is freed.
</p><p>
This function currently only disables BH when acquiring the
sk_receive_queue lock. Therefore it must not be used in a
context where that lock is acquired in an IRQ context.
</p><p>
It returns 0 if the packet was removed by us.
