Li Zetao 2f623aaf9f net: farsync: Fix kmemleak when rmmods farsync
There are two memory leaks reported by kmemleak:

  unreferenced object 0xffff888114b20200 (size 128):
    comm "modprobe", pid 4846, jiffies 4295146524 (age 401.345s)
    hex dump (first 32 bytes):
      e0 62 57 09 81 88 ff ff e0 62 57 09 81 88 ff ff  .bW......bW.....
      01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  ................
    backtrace:
      [<ffffffff815bcd82>] kmalloc_trace+0x22/0x60
      [<ffffffff83d35c78>] __hw_addr_add_ex+0x198/0x6c0
      [<ffffffff83d3989d>] dev_addr_init+0x13d/0x230
      [<ffffffff83d1063d>] alloc_netdev_mqs+0x10d/0xe50
      [<ffffffff82b4a06e>] alloc_hdlcdev+0x2e/0x80
      [<ffffffffa016a741>] fst_add_one+0x601/0x10e0 [farsync]
      ...

  unreferenced object 0xffff88810b85b000 (size 1024):
    comm "modprobe", pid 4846, jiffies 4295146523 (age 401.346s)
    hex dump (first 32 bytes):
      00 00 b0 02 00 c9 ff ff 00 70 0a 00 00 c9 ff ff  .........p......
      00 00 00 f2 00 00 00 f3 0a 00 00 00 02 00 00 00  ................
    backtrace:
      [<ffffffff815bcd82>] kmalloc_trace+0x22/0x60
      [<ffffffffa016a294>] fst_add_one+0x154/0x10e0 [farsync]
      [<ffffffff82060e83>] local_pci_probe+0xd3/0x170
      ...

The root cause is traced to the netdev and fst_card_info are not freed
when removes one fst in fst_remove_one(), which may trigger oom if
repeated insmod and rmmod module.

Fix it by adding free_netdev() and kfree() in fst_remove_one(), just as
the operations on the error handling path in fst_add_one().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
