Subject[PATCH 3.16 194/233] IB/ipoib: Fix memory leak in create child syscall
3.16.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Feras Daoud <ferasda@mellanox.com>

commit 4542d66bb26f2d021c70a78e46f183c6675fc4c9 upstream.

The flow of creating a new child goes through ipoib_vlan_add
which allocates a new interface and checks the rtnl_lock.

If the lock is taken, restart_syscall will be called to restart
the system call again. In this case we are not releasing the
already allocated interface, causing a leak.

Fixes: 9baa0b036410 ("IB/ipoib: Add rtnl_link_ops support")
