[cmaster-next] [PATCH] bgpd: fix invalid memory access in peer_free()

We shoult not call bgp_unlock() before calling
bgp_delete_connected_nexthop() in the peer_free() function. Otherwise,
if bgp->lock reaches zero, bgp_free() is called and peer->bgp becomes
an invalid pointer in the bgp_delete_connected_nexthop() function.

To fix this, move the call to bgp_unlock() to the end of peer_free().

Bug exposed by commit 37d361e ("bgpd: plug several memleaks").
