Subject: IB/umad: Fix use-after-free on close

commit 60e1751cb52cc6d1ae04b6bd3c2b96e770b5823f upstream.

Avoid that closing /dev/infiniband/umad<n> or /dev/infiniband/issm<n>
triggers a use-after-free.  __fput() invokes f_op->release() before it
invokes cdev_put().  Make sure that the ib_umad_device structure is
freed by the cdev_put() call instead of f_op->release().  This avoids
that changing the port mode from IB into Ethernet and back to IB
followed by restarting opensmd triggers the following kernel oops:

    general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP
    RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff810cc65c>]  [<ffffffff810cc65c>] module_put+0x2c/0x170
