Ioana reported a refcount warning when booting over NFS:
[ 5.042532] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 5.047184] refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

fib_treeref needs to be set after kzalloc. The old code had a ++ which
led to the confusion when the int was replaced by a refcount_t.
Fixes: 79976892f7ea ("net: convert fib_treeref from int to refcount_t")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
