[PATCH 5.7 082/179] netdevsim: fix unbalaced locking in nsim_create()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 27 2020 - 10:28:59 EST


From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2c9d8e01f0c6017317eee7638496173d4a64e6bc ]

In the nsim_create(), rtnl_lock() is called before nsim_bpf_init().
If nsim_bpf_init() is failed, rtnl_unlock() should be called,
but it isn't called.
So, unbalanced locking would occur.
