ipv6: fix a possible double free
When calling snmp6_alloc_dev fails, the snmp6 relevant memory are freed by snmp6_alloc_dev. Calling in6_dev_finish_destroy will free these memory twice. Double free will lead that undefined behavior occurs. Signed-off-by: Roy Li <rongqing.li@windriver.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
