[PATCH net] bonding: fix reference count leak in balance-alb mode

From: Jay Vosburgh
Date: Thu Aug 11 2022 - 01:07:05 EST


Commit d5410ac7b0ba ("net:bonding:support balance-alb interface
with vlan to bridge") introduced a reference count leak by not releasing
the reference acquired by ip_dev_find(). Remedy this by insuring the
reference is released.

Fixes: d5410ac7b0ba ("net:bonding:support balance-alb interface with vlan to bridge")
