Subject: [PATCH 4.9 10/72] rocker: move dereference before free

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

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

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit acb4b7df48b539cb391287921de57e4e5fae3460 upstream.

My static checker complains that ofdpa_neigh_del() can sometimes free
"found".   It just makes sense to use it first before deleting it.

Fixes: ecf244f753e0 ("rocker: fix maybe-uninitialized warning")
