Subject: [PATCH 173/203] vcsm: increment res_stats MAP_FAIL stats before we
potentially release the resource
resource can be kfree'd when the reference count is zero, so we should
not bump the res_stats of the resource after the vmcs_sm_release_resource
call since the resource may have been kfree'd by this call. Instead, bump
the stats before we call vmcs_sm_release_resource to avoid a potential
NULL pointer derefernce.
Bug found using cppcheck static analysis:
[drivers/char/broadcom/vc_sm/vmcs_sm.c:1373]: (error) Dereferencing
'resource' after it is deallocated / released
