Subject[PATCH net-next v1 2/2] netpoll: avoid reference leaks
Date
This ensures that the ndo_netpoll_cleanup callback is called for every
device that provides one. Otherwise there is a risk of reference leak
with bonding for example, which depends on this callback to cleanup
the slaves' references to netpoll info.

Tested:
see patch "netpoll: fix use after free"
