Subject: [PATCH 3.12 093/113] 6lowpan: release device on error path

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

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

===============

commit 78032f9b3eae3a43da9468d8ce30caa6be84f89d upstream.

We recently added a new error path and it needs a dev_put().

Fixes: 7adac1ec8198 ('6lowpan: Only make 6lowpan links to IEEE802154 devices')
