Subject: [PATCH 3.16 236/245] ptp: free ptp device pin descriptors properly

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

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

From: Vladis Dronov <vdronov@...hat.com>

commit 75718584cb3c64e6269109d4d54f888ac5a5fd15 upstream.

There is a bug in ptp_clock_unregister(), where ptp_cleanup_pin_groups()
first frees ptp->pin_{,dev_}attr, but then posix_clock_unregister() needs
them to destroy a related sysfs device.

These functions can not be just swapped, as posix_clock_unregister() frees
ptp which is needed in the ptp_cleanup_pin_groups(). Fix this by calling
ptp_cleanup_pin_groups() in ptp_clock_release(), right before ptp is freed.

This makes this patch fix an UAF bug in a patch which fixes an UAF bug.
