3.5.7.7 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 35876b5ffc154c357476b2c3bdab10feaf4bd8f0 upstream.
netbk_count_requests() could detect an error, call
netbk_fatal_tx_error() but return 0. The vif may then be used
afterwards (e.g., in a call to netbk_tx_error().
Since netbk_fatal_tx_error() could set vif->refcnt to 1, the vif may
be freed immediately after the call to netbk_fatal_tx_error() (e.g.,
if the vif is also removed).
