Zhengchao Shao bc4591a86b net: lapbether: fix issue of dev reference count leakage in lapbeth_device_event()
[ Upstream commit 531705a765 ]

When following tests are performed, it will cause dev reference counting
leakage.
a)ip link add bond2 type bond mode balance-rr
b)ip link set bond2 up
c)ifenslave -f bond2 rose1
d)ip link del bond2

When new bond device is created, the default type of the bond device is
ether. And the bond device is up, lapbeth_device_event() receives the
message and creates a new lapbeth device. In this case, the reference
count value of dev is hold once. But after "ifenslave -f bond2 rose1"
command is executed, the type of the bond device is changed to rose. When
the bond device is unregistered, lapbeth_device_event() will not put the
dev reference count.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
