Subject: [PATCH 4.14 062/229] i2c: Fix a potential use after free

From: Xu Wang <vulab@...as.ac.cn>

[ Upstream commit e4c72c06c367758a14f227c847f9d623f1994ecf ]

Free the adap structure only after we are done using it.
This patch just moves the put_device() down a bit to avoid the
use after free.
