[BRIDGE]: fix locking and memory leak in br_add_bridge
There are several bugs in error handling in br_add_bridge: - when dev_alloc_name fails, allocated net_device is not freed - unregister_netdev is called when rtnl lock is held - free_netdev is called before netdev_run_todo has a chance to be run after unregistering net_device Signed-off-by: Jiri Benc <jbenc@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
