Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: Prevent use after free in
 netif_napi_set_irq_locked()

The cpu_rmap_put() will call kfree() when the last reference is dropped
so it could result in a use after free when we dereference the same
pointer the next line.  Move the cpu_rmap_put() after the dereference.

Fixes: bd7c00605ee0 ("net: move aRFS rmap management and CPU affinity to core")
