[ Upstream commita22712a962] After a failed reload, the driver is still registered to devlink, its devlink instance is still allocated and the 'reload_fail' flag is set. Then, in the next reload try, the driver's allocated devlink instance will be freed without unregistering from devlink and its components (e.g, resources). This scenario can cause a use-after-free if the user tries to execute command via devlink user-space tool. Fix by not freeing the devlink instance during reload (failed or not).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
