[PATCH 6.12.y 1/2] cgroup/psi: Set of->priv to NULL upon file release

[Philo Lu <lulie@linux.alibaba.com>]

From: Chen Ridong <chenridong@huawei.com>

commit 94a4acfec14615e971eb2c9e1fa6c992c85ff6c6 upstream.

Setting of->priv to NULL when the file is released enables earlier bug
detection. This allows potential bugs to manifest as NULL pointer
dereferences rather than use-after-free errors[1], which are generally more
difficult to diagnose.
