[ Upstream commit 9199b915e9fad7f5eff6160d24ff6b38e970107d ] In cited commit, netdev_tracker_alloc() is called for the newly allocated xfrm state, but dev_hold() is missed, which causes netdev reference count imbalance, because netdev_put() is called when the state is freed in xfrm_dev_state_free(). Fix the issue by replacing netdev_tracker_alloc() with netdev_hold().

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 reStructuredText 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.
