net: vxge: fix use-after-free in vxge_device_unregister
[ Upstream commit 942e560a3d3862dd5dee1411dbdd7097d29b8416 ]
Smatch says:
drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-main.c:3518 vxge_device_unregister() error: Using vdev after free_{netdev,candev}(dev);
drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-main.c:3518 vxge_device_unregister() error: Using vdev after free_{netdev,candev}(dev);
drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-main.c:3520 vxge_device_unregister() error: Using vdev after free_{netdev,candev}(dev);
drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge/vxge-main.c:3520 vxge_device_unregister() error: Using vdev after free_{netdev,candev}(dev);
Since vdev pointer is netdev private data accessing it after free_netdev()
call can cause use-after-free bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() call at
the end of the function
