Re: [PATCH net v2] net: vlan: fix a UAF in vlan_dev_real_dev()

The real_dev of a vlan net_device may be freed after
unregister_vlan_dev(). Access the real_dev continually by
vlan_dev_real_dev() will trigger the UAF problem for the
real_dev like following:

Move the put_device(real_dev) to vlan_dev_free(). Ensure
real_dev not be freed before vlan_dev unregistered.

(though I can't tell either if there is a possiblecircular dep problem
