[PATCH][NEIGH] Fix race between neigh_parms_release and neightbl_fill_parms

[Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>]

The neightbl_fill_parms() is called under the write-locked
tbl->lock and accesses the parms->dev. The negh_parm_release()
calls the dev_put(parms->dev) without this lock. This 
creates a tiny race window on which the parms contains
potentially stale dev pointer.

To fix this race it's enough to move the dev_put() upper
under the tbl->lock, but note, that the parms are held by
neighbors and thus can live after the neigh_parms_release()
is called, so we still can have a parm with bad dev pointer.

I didn't find where the neigh->parms->dev is accessed, but 
still think that putting the dev is to be done in a place,
where the parms are really freed. Am I right with that?
