[ Upstream commit 3e7d18b9dca388940a19cae30bfc1f76dccd8c28 ]
mld_{query | report}_work() processes queued events.
If there are too many events in the queue, it re-queue a work.
And then, it returns without in6_dev_put().
But if queuing is failed, it should call in6_dev_put(), but it doesn't.
So, a reference count leak would occur.

Script to reproduce(by Hangbin Liu):
ip netns add ns1
ip netns add ns2
ip netns exec ns1 sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.force_mld_version=1
ip netns exec ns2 sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.force_mld_version=1
ip -n ns1 link add veth0 type veth peer name veth0 netns ns2
ip -n ns1 link set veth0 up
ip -n ns2 link set veth0 up
for i in `seq 50`; do
for j in `seq 100`; do
ip -n ns1 addr add 2021:${i}::${j}/64 dev veth0
ip -n ns2 addr add 2022:${i}::${j}/64 dev veth0
done
done
modprobe -r veth
ip -a netns del
splat looks like:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for veth0 to become free. Usage count = 2

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.
