[PATCH net-next 01/10] net/smc: add missing dev_put

[Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

From: Hans Wippel <hwippel@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

In the infiniband part, SMC currently uses get_netdev which calls
dev_hold on the returned net device. However, the SMC code never calls
dev_put on that net device resulting in a wrong reference count.

This patch adds a dev_put after the usage of the net device to fix the
issue.
