4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 5af96b9c59c72fb2af2d19c5cc2f3cdcee391dff ]
The backbone_gw refcounter is to be decreased by the queued work and
currently is never decreased if the queue_work() call fails.
Fix by checking the queue_work() return value and decrease refcount
if necessary.
