IB/ipoib: Fix memory leak in create child syscall
commit 4542d66b upstream. The flow of creating a new child goes through ipoib_vlan_add which allocates a new interface and checks the rtnl_lock. If the lock is taken, restart_syscall will be called to restart the system call again. In this case we are not releasing the already allocated interface, causing a leak.
