From: Ursula Braun <ubraun@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
If a pnet table entry is to be added mentioning a valid ethernet
interface, but an invalid infiniband or ISM device, the dev_put()
operation for the ethernet interface is called twice, resulting
in a negative refcount for the ethernet interface, which disables
removal of such a network interface.
This patch removes one of the dev_put() calls.
Fixes: 890a2cb4a966 ("net/smc: rework pnet table")
