Subject: netpoll: fix a missing dev refcounting
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5bd30d398792eb6351da2087fe81bbf755900991;p=linux-beck.git

netpoll: fix a missing dev refcounting

__dev_get_by_name() doesn't refcount the network device,
so we have to do this by ourselves. Noticed by Eric.
