[PATCH rdma-rc 5/5] IB/ipoib: Fix memory leak in create child syscall

[Leon Romanovsky <leon-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org>]

From: Feras Daoud <ferasda-VPRAkNaXOzVWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>

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")
