Subject: [PATCH] net: ieee802154: fix net_device reference release too early

This patch fixes the kernel oops when release net_device reference in 
advance. In function raw_sendmsg(i think the dgram_sendmsg has the same 
problem), there is a race condition between dev_put and dev_queue_xmit
when the device is gong that maybe lead to dev_queue_ximt to see
an illegal net_device pointer.

So i think that dev_put should be behind of the dev_queue_xmit.

Also, explicit set skb->sk is needless, sock_alloc_send_skb is
already set it.
