Subject: [PATCH 4.14 001/115] act_ife: fix a potential use-after-free

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

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

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 6d784f1625ea68783cc1fb17de8f6cd3e1660c3f ]

Immediately after module_put(), user could delete this
module, so e->ops could be already freed before we call
e->ops->release().

Fix this by moving module_put() after ops->release().
