Subject: [PATCH 3.16 06/61] slip: not call free_netdev before rtnl_unlock
 in slip_open

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

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

From: yangerkun <yangerkun@...wei.com>

commit f596c87005f7b1baeb7d62d9a9e25d68c3dfae10 upstream.

As the description before netdev_run_todo, we cannot call free_netdev
before rtnl_unlock, fix it by reorder the code.
