mainlining shenanigans
b46925a24a
We need to do some rework on the dummy netdev. Calling the free_netdev()
would normally make sense, and that will be addressed in an upcoming
patch. For now just revert the behavior to what it was before keeping the
unused variable removal part of the patch.
The dd->dumm_netdev is mainly used for packet receiving through
alloc_netdev_mqs() for typical net devices. A a result, it should be freed
with kfree instead of free_netdev() that leads to a crash when unloading
the hfi1 module:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
