net-sysfs: Call dev_hold always in rx_queue_add_kobject
Dev_hold has to be called always in rx_queue_add_kobject. Otherwise usage count drops below 0 in case of failure in kobject_init_and_add. Fixes: b8eb718348b8 ("net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak in rx|netdev_queue_add_kobject") Reported-by: syzbot <syzbot+30209ea299c09d8785c9@syzkaller.appspotmail.com> Cc: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@I-love.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: David Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Lukas Bulwahn <lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jouni Hogander <jouni.hogander@unikie.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
