[ Upstream commit f25caaca424703d5a0607310f0452f978f1f78d9 ]
IOSM driver registers network device without setting the
needs_free_netdev flag, and does NOT call free_netdev() when
unregisters network device, which causes a memory leak.
This patch sets needs_free_netdev to true when registers
network device, which makes netdev subsystem call free_netdev()
automatically after unregister_netdevice().
Fixes: 2a54f2c77934 ("net: iosm: net driver")
