Subject: [PATCH 5.19 212/365] net: rtnetlink: fix module reference count leak issue in rtnetlink_rcv_msg

From: Zhengchao Shao <shaozhengchao@...wei.com>

commit 5b22f62724a0a09e00d301abf5b57b0c12be8a16 upstream.

When bulk delete command is received in the rtnetlink_rcv_msg function,
if bulk delete is not supported, module_put is not called to release
the reference counting. As a result, module reference count is leaked.
