Re: [PATCH i2c-fixes v1] i2c: core: Fix use-after-free during i2c device removal

[Hillf Danton <hdanton@sina.com>]

#syz test

A race condition between a process calling i2c_device_probe()
and removal of a USB device by another process leading to both
processes calling debugfs_remove() opens up the possibility of
UAF.

Fix it by adding atomic xchg() and replacing &client->debugfs
with null before calling debugfs_remove() such that the
following statement: "if (IS_ERR_OR_NULL(dentry)) return;"
inside of debugfs_remove() executes properly.

Fixes: d06905d68610 ("i2c: add core-managed per-client directory in debugfs")
