firewire: fix panic in handle_at_packet
This fixes a use-after-free bug in the handling of split transactions. The AT DMA handler of the request was occasionally executed after the AR DMA handler of the response. The AT DMA handler then accessed an already freed packet. Reported by Johannes Berg. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9617 Signed-off-by: Stefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de> Tested-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson <jwilson@redhat.com>
