3.16.78-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Oliver Neukum <oneukum@xxxxxxxx> commit c52873e5a1ef72f845526d9f6a50704433f9c625 upstream. destroy() will decrement the refcount on the interface, so that it needs to be taken so early that it never undercounts.
