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

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
commit a1be1f3931bfe0a42b46fef77a04593c2b136e7f upstream.
This reverts commit ba62bafe942b ("kernel/relay.c: fix potential memory leak").
This commit introduced a double free bug, because 'chan' is already freed by the line:
kref_put(&chan->kref, relay_destroy_channel);
This bug was found by syzkaller, using the BLKTRACESETUP ioctl.
