Subject: [PATCH 5.11 189/254] platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: Fix crash caused by calling kset_unregister twice

From: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@...hat.com>

[ Upstream commit d939cd96b9df6dcde1605fab23bbd6307e11f930 ]

On some system the WMI GUIDs used by dell-wmi-sysman are present but there
are no enum type attributes, this causes init_bios_attributes() to return
-ENODEV, after which sysman_init() does a "goto fail_create_group" and then
calls release_attributes_data().

release_attributes_data() calls kset_unregister(wmi_priv.main_dir_kset);
but before this commit it was missing a "wmi_priv.main_dir_kset = NULL;"
statement; and after calling release_attributes_data() the sysman_init()
error handling does this:

        if (wmi_priv.main_dir_kset) {
                kset_unregister(wmi_priv.main_dir_kset);
                wmi_priv.main_dir_kset = NULL;
        }

Which causes a second kset_unregister(wmi_priv.main_dir_kset), leading to
a double-free, which causes a crash.

Add the missing "wmi_priv.main_dir_kset = NULL;" statement to
release_attributes_data() to fix this double-free crash.
