This code calls kfree(bfr); and then passes "bfr" to rtk->ops->crashed() which is a use after free. The ->crashed function pointer is implemented by apple_nvme_rtkit_crashed() and it doesn't use the "bfr" pointer so this doesn't cause a problem. But it still looks sketchy as can be. Fix this by moving kfree() after the last usage of bfr.
