3.16.7-ckt3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel at 6wind.com>

commit e0ebde0e131b529fd721b24f62872def5ec3718c upstream.

rtnl_link_get_net() holds a reference on the 'struct net', we need to release
it in case of error.
