[PATCH] HID: hiddev: Fix race in in hiddev_disconnect()

From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Wed Jan 15 2020 - 12:48:57 EST


Syzbot reports that "hiddev" is used after it's free in hiddev_disconnect().
The hiddev_disconnect() function sets "hiddev->exist = 0;" so
hiddev_release() can free it as soon as we drop the "existancelock"
lock. This patch moves the mutex_unlock(&hiddev->existancelock) until
after we have finished using it.
