Subject: zram: don't call idr_remove() from zram_remove()
From: Jerome Marchand <jmarchan@redhat.com>
commit 17ec4cd985780a7e30aa45bb8f272237c12502a4 upstream.
The use of idr_remove() is forbidden in the callback functions of
idr_for_each(). It is therefore unsafe to call idr_remove in
zram_remove().
This patch moves the call to idr_remove() from zram_remove() to
hot_remove_store(). In the detroy_devices() path, idrs are removed by
idr_destroy(). This solves an use-after-free detected by KASan.
