3.19-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thomas Graf <tgraf@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit fa2d8ff4e3522b4e05f590575d3eb8087f3a8cdc ]
Return module reference before invoking the respective vport
->destroy() function. This is needed as ovs_vport_del() is not
invoked inside an RCU read side critical section so the kfree
can occur immediately before returning to ovs_vport_del().
Returning the module reference before ->destroy() is safe because
the module unregistration is blocked on ovs_lock which we hold
while destroying the datapath.
Fixes: 62b9c8d0372d ("ovs: Turn vports with dependencies into separate modules")
