2.6.24 regression: reference count leak in PPPoE

From: Andi Kleen

My workstation running 2.6.24-rc8 just hung during shutdown with an endless
(or rather I didn't wait more than a few minutes) loop of

unregister_netdev: waiting for ppp-device to become free. Usage count = 1

ppp-device was an active PPPoE device.

No more information currently.
