From: Chengfeng Ye <cyeaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> &e->event and e point to the same address, and &e->event could be freed in queue_event. So there is a potential uaf issue if we dereference e after calling queue_event(). Fix this by adding a temporary variable to maintain e->client in advance, this can avoid the potential uaf issue.
