Subject: [PATCH] net: dpaa2-eth: fix use-after-free in dpaa2_eth_remove

Access to netdev after free_netdev() will cause use-after-free bug.
Move debug log before free_netdev() call to avoid it.

Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # v4.19+

Note about Fixes: tag. The commit introduced it was before this driver
was moved out from staging. I guess, Fixes tag cannot be used here.
Please, let me know if I am wrong.

Cc: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

@Dan, is there a smatch checker for straigthforward use after free bugs?
Like acessing pointer after free was called? I think, adding
free_netdev() to check list might be good idea

I've skimmed througth smatch source and didn't find one, so can you,
please, point out to it if it exists.

With regards,
Pavel Skripkin
