Subject: [Patch net] vlan: fix a use-after-free in vlan_device_event()

After refcnt reaches zero, vlan_vid_del() could free
dev->vlan_info via RCU:

	RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->vlan_info, NULL);
	call_rcu(&vlan_info->rcu, vlan_info_rcu_free);

However, the pointer 'grp' still points to that memory
since it is set before vlan_vid_del():

        vlan_info = rtnl_dereference(dev->vlan_info);
        if (!vlan_info)
                goto out;
        grp = &vlan_info->grp;

Depends on when that RCU callback is scheduled, we could
trigger a use-after-free in vlan_group_for_each_dev()
right following this vlan_vid_del().

Fix it by moving vlan_vid_del() before setting grp. This
is also symmetric to the vlan_vid_add() we call in
vlan_device_event().
