Subject: [PATCH 4.9 120/148] mac80211_hwsim: Fix memory leak in hwsim_new_radio_nl()

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@...ethink.co.uk>


[ Upstream commit 67bd52386125ce1159c0581cbcd2740addf33cd4 ]

hwsim_new_radio_nl() now copies the name attribute in order to add a
null-terminator.  mac80211_hwsim_new_radio() (indirectly) copies it
again into the net_device structure, so the first copy is not used or
freed later.  Free the first copy before returning.
