[PATCH 4.19 04/12] hamradio: remove needs_free_netdev to avoid UAF

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Lin Ma <linma@zju.edu.cn>

commit 81b1d548d00bcd028303c4f3150fa753b9b8aa71 upstream.

The former patch "defer 6pack kfree after unregister_netdev" reorders
the kfree of two buffer after the unregister_netdev to prevent the race
condition. It also adds free_netdev() function in sixpack_close(), which
is a direct copy from the similar code in mkiss_close().

However, in sixpack driver, the flag needs_free_netdev is set to true in
sp_setup(), hence the unregister_netdev() will free the netdev
automatically. Therefore, as the sp is netdev_priv, use-after-free
occurs.

This patch removes the needs_free_netdev = true and just let the
free_netdev to finish this deallocation task.
