can: peak_pci: prevent use after free at netdev removal
commit 0b5a958cf4df3a5cd578b861471e62138f55c85e upstream. 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. Reported-by: Christopher R.
