firmware: qemu_fw_cfg: fix NULL-pointer deref on duplicate entries
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.93 commit 889c73305b483872260d5c5b4f9a11580c5b4d1f bugzilla: 186204 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I5311N Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=889c73305b483872260d5c5b4f9a11580c5b4d1f -------------------------------- commit d3e30559 upstream. Commit fe3c6068 ("firmware: Fix a reference count leak.") "fixed" a kobject leak in the file registration helper by properly calling kobject_put() for the entry in case registration of the object fails (e.g. due to a name collision). This would however result in a NULL pointer dereference when the release function tries to remove the never added entry from the fw_cfg_entry_cache list. Fix this by moving the list-removal out of the release function. Note that the offending commit was one of the benign looking umn.edu fixes which was reviewed but not reverted.
