3.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
commit 26a865f4aa8e66a6d94958de7656f7f1b03c6c56 upstream.
After free_loaded_vmcs executes, the "loaded_vmcs" structure is kfreed, and now vmx->loaded_vmcs points to a kfreed area. Subsequent free_loaded_vmcs then attempts to manipulate vmx->loaded_vmcs.
Switch the order to avoid the problem.
