Subject: [PATCH net] caif: Fix access to freed pernet memory
From: Sjur Brændeland <sjur.brandeland@...ricsson.com>
unregister_netdevice_notifier() must be called before
unregister_pernet_subsys() to avoid accessing already freed
pernet memory. This fixes the following oops when doing rmmod:

Hi Dave,
Can you please queue up this bugfix as appropriate for -net and -stable?
I guess this bug has been around since introduction of network
name spaces in CAIF, but it became visible after 3.4 and the commit:
"net: In unregister_netdevice_notifier unregister the netdevices."
Thanks,
Sjur
