4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Mao Wenan <maowenan@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 07f12b26e21ab359261bf75cfcb424fdc7daeb6d ] If register_netdev() is failed to register sitn->fb_tunnel_dev, it will go to err_reg_dev and forget to free netdev(sitn->fb_tunnel_dev).
