tls: Fix context leak on tls_device_down
The commit cited below claims to fix a use-after-free condition after tls_device_down. Apparently, the description wasn't fully accurate. The context stayed alive, but ctx->netdev became NULL, and the offload was torn down without a proper fallback, so a bug was present, but a different kind of bug. Due to misunderstanding of the issue, the original patch dropped the refcount_dec_and_test line for the context to avoid the alleged premature deallocation. That line has to be restored, because it matches the refcount_inc_not_zero from the same function, otherwise the contexts that survived tls_device_down are leaked. This patch fixes the described issue by restoring refcount_dec_and_test. After this change, there is no leak anymore, and the fallback to software kTLS still works.
