From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 309b66970ee2abf721ecd0876a48940fa0b99a35 ] In order to create an internal vport, internal_dev_create() is used and that calls register_netdevice() internally. If register_netdevice() fails, it calls dev->priv_destructor() to free private data of netdev. actually, a private data of this is a vport. Hence internal_dev_create() should not free and use a vport after failure of register_netdevice().
