Subject: [PATCH 5.4 056/138] netdevsim: fix unbalaced locking in nsim_create()

From: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 2c9d8e01f0c6017317eee7638496173d4a64e6bc ]

In the nsim_create(), rtnl_lock() is called before nsim_bpf_init().
If nsim_bpf_init() is failed, rtnl_unlock() should be called,
but it isn't called.
So, unbalanced locking would occur.
