[PATCH net] net: batman-adv: Fix possible memleaks when fail to register_netdevice

From: <hidden>
Date: 2017-04-25 12:04:04
Also in: batman
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

From: Gao Feng <redacted>

Because the func batadv_softif_init_late allocate some resources and
it would be invoked in register_netdevice. So we need to invoke the
func batadv_softif_free instead of free_netdev to cleanup when fail
to register_netdevice.
