Subject: [ 204/221] ceph: dont reference req after put

3.7-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Alex Elder <elder@...tank.com>

(cherry picked from commit 7d5f24812bd182a2471cb69c1c2baf0648332e1f)

In __unregister_request(), there is a call to list_del_init()
referencing a request that was the subject of a call to
ceph_osdc_put_request() on the previous line.  This is not
safe, because the request structure could have been freed
by the time we reach the list_del_init().

Fix this by reversing the order of these lines.
