net: dsa: fix unbalanced dsa_switch_tree reference counting
[ Upstream commit 7a99cd6e ] _dsa_register_switch() gets a dsa_switch_tree object either via dsa_get_dst() or via dsa_add_dst(). Former path does not increase kref in returned object (resulting into caller not owning a reference), while later path does create a new object (resulting into caller owning a reference). The rest of _dsa_register_switch() assumes that it owns a reference, and calls dsa_put_dst(). This causes a memory breakage if first switch in the tree initialized successfully, but second failed to initialize. In particular, freed dsa_swith_tree object is left referenced by switch that was initialized, and later access to sysfs attributes of that switch cause OOPS. To fix, need to add kref_get() call to dsa_get_dst().
