Subject: [PATCH] mac80211_hwsim: Fix memory leak in hwsim_new_radio_nl()
Git-commit: 67bd52386125ce1159c0581cbcd2740addf33cd4
Patch-mainline: v4.15-rc1
References: bsc#1051510

hwsim_new_radio_nl() now copies the name attribute in order to add a
null-terminator.  mac80211_hwsim_new_radio() (indirectly) copies it
again into the net_device structure, so the first copy is not used or
freed later.  Free the first copy before returning.
