[ 151/171 ] 8021q: fix a potential use-after-free

[Steven Rostedt]

3.6.11.2 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Cong Wang <amwang@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 4a7df340ed1bac190c124c1601bfc10cde9fb4fb ]

vlan_vid_del() could possibly free ->vlan_info after a RCU grace
period, however, we may still refer to the freed memory area
by 'grp' pointer. Found by code inspection.

This patch moves vlan_vid_del() as behind as possible.
