[PATCH v2 net-next] net: Silence use after free static checker warning

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Tue Mar 04 2025 - 02:01:16 EST


The cpu_rmap_put() will call kfree() when the last reference is dropped.

Fortunately, this is not the the last reference so it won't free it
here. Unfortunately, static checkers are not clever enough and they
still warn that this could lead to a use after free on the next line.
Flip these two statements around to silence the static checker false
positve.
