Subject: CVE-2022-49259: block: don't delete queue kobject before its children

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

block: don't delete queue kobject before its children

kobjects aren't supposed to be deleted before their child kobjects are
deleted.  Apparently this is usually benign; however, a WARN will be
triggered if one of the child kobjects has a named attribute group:

    sysfs group 'modes' not found for kobject 'crypto'
    WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at fs/sysfs/group.c:278 sysfs_remove_group+0x72/0x80
    ...
    Call Trace:
      sysfs_remove_groups+0x29/0x40 fs/sysfs/group.c:312
      __kobject_del+0x20/0x80 lib/kobject.c:611

      del_gendisk+0x117/0x250 block/genhd.c:610

Fix this by moving the kobject_del() and the corresponding
kobject_uevent() to the correct place.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49259 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
