hamradio: defer 6pack kfree after unregister_netdev
There is a possible race condition (use-after-free) like below
(USE) | (FREE)
dev_queue_xmit |
__dev_queue_xmit |
__dev_xmit_skb |
sch_direct_xmit | ...
xmit_one |
netdev_start_xmit | tty_ldisc_kill
__netdev_start_xmit | 6pack_close
sp_xmit | kfree
sp_encaps |
|
According to the patch "defer ax25 kfree after unregister_netdev", this
patch reorder the kfree after the unregister_netdev to avoid the possible
UAF as the unregister_netdev() is well synchronized and won't return if
there is a running routine.
