CVE-2021-47237 net: hamradio: fix memory leak in mkiss_close
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: hamradio: fix memory leak in mkiss_close

My local syzbot instance hit memory leak in
mkiss_open()[1]. The problem was in missing
free_netdev() in mkiss_close().

In mkiss_open() netdevice is allocated and then
registered, but in mkiss_close() netdevice was
only unregistered, but not freed.

Fail log:
