[ Upstream commit 98f3375505b8d6517bd6710bc6d4f6289eeb30aa ]
If a pnet table entry is to be added mentioning a valid ethernet interface, but an invalid infiniband or ISM device, the dev_put() operation for the ethernet interface is called twice, resulting in a negative refcount for the ethernet interface, which disables removal of such a network interface.
This patch removes one of the dev_put() calls.
