Nicolas Dichtel 28655c632e xfrm interface: fix memory leak on creation
commit 56c5ee1a58 upstream.

The following commands produce a backtrace and return an error but the xfrm
interface is created (in the wrong netns):
$ ip netns add foo
$ ip netns add bar
$ ip -n foo netns set bar 0
$ ip -n foo link add xfrmi0 link-netnsid 0 type xfrm dev lo if_id 23
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
$ ip -n bar link ls xfrmi0
2: xfrmi0@lo: <NOARP,M-DOWN> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/none 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

Here is the backtrace:

In fact, each time a xfrm interface was created, a netdev was allocated
by __rtnl_newlink()/rtnl_create_link() and then another one by
xfrmi_newlink()/xfrmi_create(). Only the second one was registered, it's
why the previous commands produce a backtrace: dev_change_net_namespace()
was called on a netdev with reg_state set to NETREG_UNINITIALIZED (the
first one).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
