[PATCH V3 04/14] i3c: master: Fix use-after-free of master->this

[Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com>]

sysfs attribute callbacks for the master controller device dereference
master->this.  However, master->this is currently freed in
i3c_master_detach_free_devs(), before the master device itself is
released.

As a result, sysfs accesses can dereference a freed master->this
pointer, leading to a use-after-free.

Keep master->this alive until i3c_masterdev_release(), where all users
of the master device have gone away and the associated sysfs state is
being torn down.  Do not free master->this as part of the normal device
detach path.
