Subject: [PATCH net] net/smc: fix netdev refcnt leak in smc_ib_find_route()

A netdev refcnt leak issue was found when unregistering netdev after
using SMC. It can be reproduced as follows.

- run tests based on SMC.
- unregister the net device.

The following error message can be observed.

'unregister_netdevice: waiting for ethx to become free. Usage count = x'

With CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER set, more detailed error message can
be provided by refcount tracker:

 unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth1 to become free. Usage count = 2
 ref_tracker: eth%d@...f9cabc3bf8548 has 1/1 users at
      ___neigh_create+0x8e/0x420

      __netif_receive_skb_list_core+0x258/0x2c0
      __netif_receive_skb_list+0xea/0x150
      netif_receive_skb_list_internal+0xf2/0x1b0

      net_rx_action+0x2a7/0x380
      __do_softirq+0xcd/0x2a7

It is because in smc_ib_find_route(), neigh_lookup() takes a netdev
refcnt but does not release. So fix it.
