[PATCH] blk-mq: fix hctx/ctx kobject use-after-free

From: Ming Lei
Date: Mon Jan 19 2015 - 22:01:12 EST


The kobject memory shouldn't have been freed before the kobject
is released because driver core can access it freely before its
release.

This patch frees hctx in its release callback. For ctx, they
share one single per-cpu variable which is associated with
the request queue, so free ctx in q->mq_kobj's release handler.
