[ovs-dev] [PATCH net-next] openvswitch: use after free in __ovs_ct_free_action()

We free "ct_info->ct" and then use it on the next line when we pass it
to nf_ct_destroy_timeout().  This patch swaps the order to avoid the use
after free.

Fixes: 06bd2bdf19d2 ("openvswitch: Add timeout support to ct action")
