After include 3b5a39979daf ("slip: Fix memory leak in slip_open error path") and e58c19124189 ("slip: Fix use-after-free Read in slip_open") with 4.4.y/4.9.y. We will trigger a bug since we can double free sl->dev in slip_open. Actually, we should backport cf124db566e6 ("net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.") too since it has delete free_netdev from sl_free_netdev. Fix it by delete free_netdev from slip_open.
