Subject: [PATCH 1/1] snmp6 relevant data structures are freed twice.

From: Roy.Li <rongqing.li@...driver.com>

When calling snmp6_alloc_dev fails, the snmp6 relevant memory
are freed by snmp6_alloc_dev. Calling in6_dev_finish_destroy
will free these memory twice.

Double free will lead that undefined behavior occurs.
