Commit 9ebd796e2400 ("can: slcan: Fix use-after-free Read in
slcan_open") was incorrectly backported to 4.4 and 4.9 stable
branches.
Since they do not have commit cf124db566e6 ("net: Fix inconsistent
teardown and release of private netdev state."), the destructor
function slc_free_netdev() is already responsible for calling
free_netdev() and slcan_open() must not call both of them.
yangerkun previously fixed the same bug in slip.
Fixes: ce624b2089ea ("can: slcan: Fix use-after-free Read in slcan_open") # 4.4
Fixes: f59604a80fa4 ("slcan: not call free_netdev before rtnl_unlock ...") # 4.4
Fixes: 56635a1e6ffb ("can: slcan: Fix use-after-free Read in slcan_open") # 4.9
Fixes: a1c9b23142ac ("slcan: not call free_netdev before rtnl_unlock ...") # 4.9
