[PATCH] macvtap: remove wrong sock_put() in macvtap_put_queue()

The calling of sock_put() should be delayed after synchronize_rcu(),
otherwise inconsist data may be seen during packets transmitting.

You're leaking sockets now.

This function has to release the socket twice if there is
a non-NULL vlan assigned to the queue.

Now you're only doing it once in that situation.

Which probably fixes your crash, but adds a socket leak.
