Subject: [PATCH 3.16 049/294] IB/cma: Fix reference count leak when no
 ipv4 addresses are set

3.16.50-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Kalderon, Michal" <Michal.Kalderon@...ium.com>

commit 963916fdb3e5ad4af57ac959b5a03bf23f7568ca upstream.

Once in_dev_get is called to receive in_device pointer, the
in_device reference counter is increased, but if there are
no ipv4 addresses configured on the net-device the ifa_list
will be null, resulting in a flow that doesn't call in_dev_put
to decrease the ref_cnt.
This was exposed when running RoCE over ipv6 without any ipv4
addresses configured

Fixes: commit 8e3867310c90 ("IB/cma: Fix a race condition in iboe_addr_get_sgid()")
