[ Upstream commit d03f228470a8c0a22b774d1f8d47071e0de4f6dd ]
nr_add_node() invokes nr_neigh_get_dev(), which returns a local reference of the nr_neigh object to "nr_neigh" with increased refcnt.
When nr_add_node() returns, "nr_neigh" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
The issue happens in one normal path of nr_add_node(), which forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by nr_neigh_get_dev() and causes a refcnt leak. It should decrease the refcnt before the function returns like other normal paths do.
Fix this issue by calling nr_neigh_put() before the nr_add_node() returns.
