FIX kmalloc-512: Object at 0xffff88007e8a9918 not freed
The code path which leads to the *funny* double free:
request = rdev->scan_req;
dev = dev_get_by_index(&init_net, request->ifidx);
/*
* the driver was unloaded recently and
* therefore dev_get_by_index will return NULL!
*/
if (!dev)
goto out;
[...]
rdev->scan_req = NULL; /* not executed... */
[...]
out:
kfree(request);
