[ Upstream commit 94b95dfaa814f565d92f5a65f0ff12a483095522 ]
Failure to add offloaded policy will cause to the following error once user will try to reload driver.
Unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth3 to become free. Usage count = 2
This was caused by xfrm_dev_policy_add() which increments reference to net_device. That reference was supposed to be decremented in xfrm_dev_policy_free(). However the latter wasn't called.
