Subject: [PATCH 4.9 63/88] kernel/relay.c: revert "kernel/relay.c: fix potential memory leak"

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

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

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.com>

commit a1be1f3931bfe0a42b46fef77a04593c2b136e7f upstream.

This reverts commit ba62bafe942b ("kernel/relay.c: fix potential memory leak").

This commit introduced a double free bug, because 'chan' is already
freed by the line:

    kref_put(&chan->kref, relay_destroy_channel);

This bug was found by syzkaller, using the BLKTRACESETUP ioctl.
