net/rfkill/core.c: Avoid leaving freed data in a list
The list_for_each_entry loop can fail, in which case the list element is
not removed from the list rfkill_fds. Since this list is not accessed by
the loop, the addition of &data->list into the list is just moved after the
loop.
The sematic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@@
expression E,E1,E2;
identifier l;
@@
*list_add(&E->l,E1);
... when != E1
when != list_del(&E->l)
when != list_del_init(&E->l)
when != E = E2
*kfree(E);// </smpl>
