Subject: [PATCH 3.16 284/306] can: peak: fix bad memory access and free
 sequence

3.16.40-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: 추지호 <jiho.chu@...sung.com>

commit b67d0dd7d0dc9e456825447bbeb935d8ef43ea7c upstream.

Fix for bad memory access while disconnecting. netdev is freed before
private data free, and dev is accessed after freeing netdev.

This makes a slub problem, and it raise kernel oops with slub debugger
config.
