Thomas Gleixner 3735459037 PCI/MSI: Destroy sysfs before freeing entries
free_msi_irqs() frees the MSI entries before destroying the sysfs entries
which are exposing them. Nothing prevents a concurrent free while a sysfs
file is read and accesses the possibly freed entry.

Move the sysfs release ahead of freeing the entries.

Fixes: 1c51b50c29 ("PCI/MSI: Export MSI mode using attributes, not kobjects")

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
