net: ieee802154: fix net_device reference release too early

This patch fixes the kernel oops when release net_device reference in
advance. In function raw_sendmsg(i think the dgram_sendmsg has the same
problem), there is a race condition between dev_put and dev_queue_xmit
when the device is gong that maybe lead to dev_queue_ximt to see
an illegal net_device pointer.

My test kernel is 3.13.0-32 and because i am not have a real 802154
device, so i change lowpan_newlink function to this:

        /* find and hold real wpan device */
        real_dev = dev_get_by_index(src_net, nla_get_u32(tb[IFLA_LINK]));
        if (!real_dev)
                return -ENODEV;
//      if (real_dev->type != ARPHRD_IEEE802154) {
//              dev_put(real_dev);
//              return -EINVAL;
//      }
        lowpan_dev_info(dev)->real_dev = real_dev;
        lowpan_dev_info(dev)->fragment_tag = 0;
        mutex_init(&lowpan_dev_info(dev)->dev_list_mtx);

Also, in order to simulate preempt, i change the raw_sendmsg function
to this:

        skb->dev = dev;
        skb->sk  = sk;
        skb->protocol = htons(ETH_P_IEEE802154);
        dev_put(dev);
        //simulate preempt
        schedule_timeout_uninterruptible(30 * HZ);
        err = dev_queue_xmit(skb);
        if (err > 0)
                err = net_xmit_errno(err);

and this is my userspace test code named test_send_data:

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
        char buf[127];
        int sockfd;
        sockfd = socket(AF_IEEE802154, SOCK_RAW, 0);
        if (sockfd < 0) {
                printf("create sockfd error: %s\n", strerror(errno));
                return -1;
        }
        send(sockfd, buf, sizeof(buf), 0);
        return 0;
}

This is my test case:

[381.347512] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

In my opinion, there is always exist a chance that the device is gong
before call dev_queue_xmit.

I think the latest kernel is have the same problem and that
dev_put should be behind of the dev_queue_xmit.
