Subject: [PATCH 3.16 042/133] net: don't decrement kobj reference count on
 init failure

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

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

From: stephen hemminger <stephen@...workplumber.org>

commit d0d6683716791b2a2761a1bb025c613eb73da6c3 upstream.

If kobject_init_and_add failed, then the failure path would
decrement the reference count of the queue kobject whose reference
count was already zero.

Fixes: 114cf5802165 ("bql: Byte queue limits")
