The function ceph_monc_handle_map calls kfree(old) to free the old monitor map, old points to monc->monmap. However, after that, it reads monc->monmap->epoch and passes it to __ceph_monc_got_map. This result in a use-after-free bug. The patch moves the free operation after the call to __ceph_monc_got_map.
