Subject: netconsole: remove a redundant netconsole_target_put()
From: Amerigo Wang <[email protected]>
commit 72d3eb13b5c0abe7d63efac41f39c5b644c7bbaa upstream.
This netconsole_target_put() is obviously redundant, and it
causes a kernel segfault when removing a bridge device which has
netconsole running on it.
This is caused by:
commit 8d8fc29d02a33e4bd5f4fa47823c1fd386346093
