Subject: [PATCH 4.19 15/92] net-sysfs: Call dev_hold always in rx_queue_add_kobject

From: Jouni Hogander <jouni.hogander@...kie.com>

commit ddd9b5e3e765d8ed5a35786a6cb00111713fe161 upstream.

Dev_hold has to be called always in rx_queue_add_kobject.
Otherwise usage count drops below 0 in case of failure in
kobject_init_and_add.

Fixes: b8eb718348b8 ("net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak in rx|netdev_queue_add_kobject")
