Rafał Miłecki 9e32e288f0 kernel: fix refcnt leak in LED netdev trigger on interface rename
This fixes a possible unbalanced dev_hold():

Subject: [PATCH] leds: trigger: netdev: fix refcnt leak on interface rename
MIME-Version: 1.0

Renaming a netdev-trigger-tracked interface was resulting in an
unbalanced dev_hold().
Example:
> iw phy phy0 interface add foo type __ap
> echo netdev > trigger
> echo foo > device_name
> ip link set foo name bar
> iw dev bar del
[ 237.355366] unregister_netdevice: waiting for bar to become free. Usage count = 1
[ 247.435362] unregister_netdevice: waiting for bar to become free. Usage count = 1
[ 257.545366] unregister_netdevice: waiting for bar to become free. Usage count = 1
Above problem was caused by trigger checking a dev->name which obviously
changes after renaming an interface. It meant missing all further events
including the NETDEV_UNREGISTER which is required for calling dev_put().
This change fixes that by:
1) Comparing device struct *address* for notification-filtering purposes
2) Dropping unneeded NETDEV_CHANGENAME code (no behavior change)
Fixes: 06f502f57d0d ("leds: trigger: Introduce a NETDEV trigger")
