The function ceph_monc_handle_map calls kfree(old) to free the old
monitor map, old points to monc->monmap. However, after that, it reads
monc->monmap->epoch and passes it to __ceph_monc_got_map. This will 
result in a use-after-free bug. The patch moves the free operation after
the call to __ceph_monc_got_map.

Fixes: 82dcabad750 ("libceph: revamp subs code, switch to SUBSCRIBE2 protocol")

monc->monmap is assigned here.  It's not obvious, but monc->monmap and
client->monc.monmap is the same pointer.

ceph_monmap_decode() returns the new map, kfree() frees the old map.
I don't see a use-after-free here.

Thanks,
