Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 017/165] ematch: Fix auto-loading of ematch modules.

3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: =?UTF-8?q?Ignacy=20Gaw=C4=99dzki?=

commit 34eea79e2664b314cab6a30fc582fdfa7a1bb1df upstream.

In tcf_em_validate(), after calling request_module() to load the
kind-specific module, set em->ops to NULL before returning -EAGAIN, so
that module_put() is not called again by tcf_em_tree_destroy().
