Subject: ipv6: clean up dev_snmp6 proc entry when we fail to initialize
inet6_dev
From: Sabrina Dubroca <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit 2a189f9e57650e9f310ddf4aad75d66c1233a064 ]
In ipv6_add_dev, when addrconf_sysctl_register fails, we do not clean up
the dev_snmp6 entry that we have already registered for this device.
Call snmp6_unregister_dev in this case.
Fixes: a317a2f19da7d ("ipv6: fail early when creating netdev named all or
default")
