3.13-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Antonio Quartulli <anto...@meshcoding.com>

[ Upstream commit 91c2b1a9f680ff105369d49abc7e19ca7efb33e1 ]

There is a refcounter unbalance in the CRC checking routine
invoked on OGM reception. A vlan object is retrieved (thus
its refcounter is increased by one) but it is never properly
released. This leads to a memleak because the vlan object
will never be free'd.

Fix this by releasing the vlan object after having read the
CRC.
