4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6d784f1625ea68783cc1fb17de8f6cd3e1660c3f ] Immediately after module_put(), user could delete this module, so e->ops could be already freed before we call e->ops->release(). Fix this by moving module_put() after ops->release().
