IB/umad: Fix use-after-free on close

commit 60e1751c upstream.

Avoid that closing /dev/infiniband/umad<n> or /dev/infiniband/issm<n>
triggers a use-after-free.  __fput() invokes f_op->release() before it
invokes cdev_put().  Make sure that the ib_umad_device structure is
freed by the cdev_put() call instead of f_op->release().  This avoids
that changing the port mode from IB into Ethernet and back to IB
followed by restarting opensmd triggers the following kernel oops:
