From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> [ Upstream commit 55b7ab1178cbf41f979ff83236d3321ad35ed2ad ] VLAN checks for NETREG_UNINITIALIZED to distinguish between registration failure and unregistration in progress. Since commit cb626bf566eb ("net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak") registration failure may, however, result in NETREG_UNREGISTERED as well as NETREG_UNINITIALIZED. This fix is similer to cebb69754f37 ("rtnetlink: Fix memory(net_device) leak when ->newlink fails") Fixes: cb626bf566eb ("net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak") Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
