[PATCH] staging/vme_user: fix usage of the slave resources afterthey've been freed

[Martyn Welch]

From: Emilio G. Cota <cota@xxxxxxxxx>

buf_unalloc() frees the memory buffers allocated with vme_alloc_consistent.
The associated VME resource is needed in both vme_alloc_consistent and
vme_free_consistent; however the slave VME resources are being freed before
the calls to vme_free_consistent are made, which means the buffers
are never returned.

Fix this by freeing the VME resources only after the consistent buffers have
been returned.
