[ Upstream commit 19e65c45a1507a1a2926649d2db3583ed9d55fd9 ]
dm is netdev private data and it cannot be used after free_netdev() call. Using dm after free_netdev() can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() at the end of the function.
This is similar to the issue fixed in commit ad297cd2db89 ("net: qcom/emac: fix UAF in emac_remove").
This bug is detected by our static analysis tool.
