2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

commit 8a52da632ceb9d8b776494563df579e87b7b586b upstream.

The debugging code using the freed structure is moved before the kfree.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@free@
expression E;
position p;
@@
kfree@p(E)

@@
expression free.E, subE<=free.E, E1;
position free.p;
@@

  kfree@p(E)
  ...
(
  subE = E1
|
* E
)
// </smpl>
