[PATCH] net: fddi: fix UAF in fza_probe

fp is netdev private data and it cannot be
used after free_netdev() call. Using fp after free_netdev()
can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() after error message.

 Can you justify the lines for a better layout?  The paragraph looks odd 
to me in its current form.

 Otherwise LGTM.  And a good catch, thank you!
