ptp: free ptp device pin descriptors properly
commit 75718584cb3c64e6269109d4d54f888ac5a5fd15 upstream.
There is a bug in ptp_clock_unregister(), where ptp_cleanup_pin_groups()
first frees ptp->pin_{,dev_}attr, but then posix_clock_unregister() needs
them to destroy a related sysfs device.
These functions can not be just swapped, as posix_clock_unregister() frees
ptp which is needed in the ptp_cleanup_pin_groups(). Fix this by calling
ptp_cleanup_pin_groups() in ptp_clock_release(), right before ptp is freed.
This makes this patch fix an UAF bug in a patch which fixes an UAF bug.
