3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: 추지호 <jiho.chu@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit b67d0dd7d0dc9e456825447bbeb935d8ef43ea7c upstream.
Fix for bad memory access while disconnecting. netdev is freed before
private data free, and dev is accessed after freeing netdev.
This makes a slub problem, and it raise kernel oops with slub debugger
config.
