From: Vladis Dronov <vdronov@xxxxxxxxxx> 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.
