If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Antonio Quartulli [ Upstream commit 91c2b1a9f680ff105369d49abc7e19ca7efb33e1 ] There is a refcounter unbalance in the CRC checking routine invoked on OGM reception. A vlan object is retrieved (thus its refcounter is increased by one) but it is never properly released. This leads to a memleak because the vlan object will never be free'd. Fix this by releasing the vlan object after having read the CRC.
