From: Zhengchao Shao <shaozhengchao@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 5b22f62724a0a09e00d301abf5b57b0c12be8a16 upstream. When bulk delete command is received in the rtnetlink_rcv_msg function, if bulk delete is not supported, module_put is not called to release the reference counting. As a result, module reference count is leaked.
