skd: Avoid that module unloading triggers a use-after-free
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit 7277cc67b3916eed47558c64f9c9c0de00a35cda upstream.

Since put_disk() triggers a disk_release() call and since that
last function calls blk_put_queue() if disk->queue != NULL, clear
the disk->queue pointer before calling put_disk(). This avoids
that unloading the skd kernel module triggers the following
use-after-free:
