Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 08/23] batman-adv: fix backbone_gw refcount on queue_work() failure

From: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@...mailbox.ch>

[ Upstream commit 5af96b9c59c72fb2af2d19c5cc2f3cdcee391dff ]

The backbone_gw refcounter is to be decreased by the queued work and
currently is never decreased if the queue_work() call fails.
Fix by checking the queue_work() return value and decrease refcount
if necessary.
