From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>
This function is called from get_station callback which means that every
time user space was getting/dumping station(s) we were leaking 2 KiB.

Kalle, ideally this should go as 4.8 fix, but I'm aware it's quite late.
If you are not planning to send another pull request, just get it for
the next release and let's let stable guys backport it.
