Subject: [PATCH] mlxsw: fix refcount leak in mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()

When mlxsw_sp_port_lag_index_get() fails, mlxsw_sp_port_lag_join()
returns an error without releasing the lag reference obtained by
the earlier mlxsw_sp_lag_get().  All other error paths in the
function jump to the cleanup label that ends with
mlxsw_sp_lag_put(), so this is a single missed release.

Fix the leak by replacing the bare 'return err' with a goto to the
existing error cleanup label, which will drop the reference safely.

[PATCH 6.1.y 1/2] mlxsw: spectrum: On port enslavement to a LAG, join upper's bridges

[Sasha Levin]

From: Petr Machata <petrm@nvidia.com>

[ Upstream commit 987c7782f0627e1c87617458806a7e6c1995678a ]

Currently it never happens that a netdevice that is already a bridge slave
would suddenly become mlxsw upper. The only case where this might be
possible as far as mlxsw is concerned, is with LAG netdevices. But if a LAG
already has an upper, enslaving mlxsw port to that LAG is forbidden. Thus
the only way to install a LAG between a bridge and a mlxsw port is by first
enslaving the port to the LAG, and then enslaving that LAG to a bridge.

However in the following patches, the requirement that ports be only
enslaved to masters without uppers, is going to be relaxed. It will
therefore be necessary to join bridges of LAG uppers. Without this replay,
the mlxsw bridge_port objects are not instantiated, which causes issues
later, as a lot of code relies on their presence.

Therefore in this patch, when the first mlxsw physical netdevice is
enslaved to a LAG, consider bridges upper to the LAG (both the direct
master, if any, and any bridge masters of VLAN uppers), and have the
relevant netdevices join their bridges.
