Subject: [PATCH] xfs: libxfs: move xfs_perag_put late

The function xfs_alloc_get_freelist calls xfs_perag_put to drop the
reference. In this case, pag may be released. However,
pag->pagf_btreeblks is read and write after the put operation. This may
result in a use-after-free bug. This patch moves the put operation late.
