8021q: fix a potential use-after-free
[ Upstream commit 4a7df340ed1bac190c124c1601bfc10cde9fb4fb ] vlan_vid_del() could possibly free ->vlan_info after a RCU grace period, however, we may still refer to the freed memory area by 'grp' pointer. Found by code inspection. This patch moves vlan_vid_del() as behind as possible. Signed-off-by: Cong Wang <amwang@redhat.com> Cc: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Cc: "David S.
