3.16.48-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Feras Daoud <ferasda@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 4542d66bb26f2d021c70a78e46f183c6675fc4c9 upstream.
The flow of creating a new child goes through ipoib_vlan_add
which allocates a new interface and checks the rtnl_lock.
If the lock is taken, restart_syscall will be called to restart
the system call again. In this case we are not releasing the
already allocated interface, causing a leak.
Fixes: 9baa0b036410 ("IB/ipoib: Add rtnl_link_ops support")
