can: peak_pci: prevent use after free at netdev removal
As remarked by Christopher R. Baker in his post at http://marc.info/?l=linux-can&m=139707295706465&w=2 there's a possibility for an use after free condition at device removal. This simplified patch introduces an additional variable to prevent the issue. Thanks for catching this. Cc: linux-stable <stable@vger.kernel.org> Reported-by: Christopher R.
