3.16.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit f6478218e6edc2a587b8f132f66373baa7b2497c upstream.
When a parent macvlan device is destroyed we end up purging its
broadcast queue without dropping the device reference count on
the packet source device. This causes the source device to linger.
This patch drops that reference count.
Fixes: 260916dfb48c ("macvlan: Fix potential use-after free for...")
