ic_close_devs() calls kfree() for all devices's ic_device. Since commit 2647cffb2bc6 ("net: ipconfig: Support using "delayed" DHCP replies") the active device's ic_device is still used however to print the ipconfig summary which results in an oops if the memory is already changed. So delay freeing until after the autoconfig results are reported.
