+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
