Eric DumazetandJakub Kicinski dcf15eaf56 net: hsr: fix memory leak on slave unregistration by removing synced VLANs
When an HSR master device is brought UP, it auto-adds VLAN 0 via
vlan_vid0_add(), which propagates VID 0 to its slave devices (slave A and B).

If a slave device is later unregistered while HSR is active (e.g., during
netns cleanup or interface destruction), hsr_del_port() is called to
detach the slave port from the HSR master. However, hsr_del_port() currently
does not delete the VLAN IDs that were synced to the slave device by HSR.

As a result, the slave device retains a refcount on VID 0 (and any other
synced VLANs). When the slave device is destroyed, its vlan_info /
vlan_vid_info structure remains allocated, leading to a memory leak.

Fix this by calling vlan_vids_del_by_dev(port->dev, master->dev) in
hsr_del_port() before unlinking slave A or slave B ports, matching the
propagation logic in hsr_ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid() / hsr_ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid()
and the cleanup behavior in bonding and team drivers.
