This patch is just wrong, sorry. I was trying to fix a static checker
warning and misread the code. The reference taken in macsec_newlink()
is released in macsec_free_netdev() when the netdevice is destroyed.
This reverts commit 5dcd8400884cc4a043a6d4617e042489e5d566a9.

I sent this earlier but I messed up the CC list. I've updated the
commit message as well.
