3.16.85-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: yangerkun <yangerkun@xxxxxxxxxx> commit f596c87005f7b1baeb7d62d9a9e25d68c3dfae10 upstream. As the description before netdev_run_todo, we cannot call free_netdev before rtnl_unlock, fix it by reorder the code.
