[PATCH net 3/5] rxrpc: Fix UAF in rxgk_issue_challenge()

Fix rxgk_issue_challenge() to free the page containing the challenge
content after invoking the tracepoint as the whdr passed to the tracepoint
points into the page just freed.

Fixes: 9d1d2b59341f ("rxrpc: rxgk: Implement the yfs-rxgk security class (GSSAPI)")
