Subject: [PATCH 041/105] clk: remove notifier from list before freeing it

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

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

From: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@...fujitsu.com>

commit 72b5322f11ff0abf6a52b3007486656578d2c982 upstream.

The @cn is stay in @clk_notifier_list after it is freed, it cause
memory corruption.

Example, if @clk is registered(first), unregistered(first),
registered(second), unregistered(second).

The freed @cn will be used when @clk is registered(second),
and the bug will be happened when @clk is unregistered(second):
