When an rport event (RPORT_EV_READY) is updated without work being queued,
avoid taking an additional reference.
This issue was leading to memory leak. Trace from KMEMLEAK tool:
unreferenced object 0xffff8888259e8780 (size 512):

Below is the log sequence which leads to memory leak. Here we get the
RPORT_EV_READY and RPORT_EV_STOP back to back, which lead to overwrite the
event RPORT_EV_READY by event RPORT_EV_STOP. Because of this, kref_count
gets incremented by 1.

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.
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.
