This bug is detected by our static analysis tool.
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").
Fixes: cf9e60aa69ae ("net: davicom: Fix regulator not turned off on driver removal")
