[PATCH 3.14 41/98] clk: Dont try to use a struct clk* after it could have been freed

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

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

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

From: Tomeu Vizoso <tomeu.vizoso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 10cdfe54dab034311c8e2fad9ba2dffbe616caa9 upstream.

As __clk_release could call kfree on clk and then we wouldn't have a safe way
of getting the module that owns the clock.
