powerpc/pseries/dlpar: Eliminate use after free
dlpar_free_cc_nodes frees its argument, so dlpar_online_cpu should not be called on the same value. Skip over the call to dlpar_online_cpu by jumping directly to out. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ expression E,E2; @@ dlpar_free_cc_nodes(E) ... ( E = E2 | * E ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>
