net: ip: Fix 6lo buffer leak when sending ACK
Due to recent TCP fixes for 6lo, we are making a copy of buffers
sent to net_tcp_send_buf() so that TCP retransmit can send the original
(unmodified) buffer. This original buffer is freed via the TCP
sent_list when the related ACK packet is received.
However, there are users of the net_tcp_send_buf() function which
will never get a corresponding ACK (and do not add the buffer to the
TCP sent_list). An example is send_ack() in net_context.c. In this
case, we leak the original buffer.
To fix this leak in the 6lo specific block of net_tcp_send_buf(),
let's check to see if the original buffer was added to the TCP sent_list
and if not, then avoid the buffer copy process entirely.
