This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 34eea79e2664b314cab6a30fc582fdfa7a1bb1df ]

In tcf_em_validate(), after calling request_module() to load the
kind-specific module, set em->ops to NULL before returning -EAGAIN, so
that module_put() is not called again by tcf_em_tree_destroy().
