[PATCH 5.12 44/45] ip6_tunnel: sit: proper dev_{hold|put} in ndo_[un]init methods

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 48bb5697269a7cbe5194dbb044dc38c517e34c58 upstream.

Same reasons than for the previous commits :
6289a98f0817 ("sit: proper dev_{hold|put} in ndo_[un]init methods")
40cb881b5aaa ("ip6_vti: proper dev_{hold|put} in ndo_[un]init methods")
7f700334be9a ("ip6_gre: proper dev_{hold|put} in ndo_[un]init methods")

After adopting CONFIG_PCPU_DEV_REFCNT=n option, syzbot was able to trigger
a warning [1]

Issue here is that:

- all dev_put() should be paired with a corresponding prior dev_hold().

- A driver doing a dev_put() in its ndo_uninit() MUST also
do a dev_hold() in its ndo_init(), only when ndo_init()
is returning 0.

Otherwise, register_netdevice() would call ndo_uninit()
in its error path and release a refcount too soon.
