Yes fw_state_is_aborted() is checked at the beginning of
firmware_loading_store(). Later on you will see that for
for case 0 logic it will do a variation on abort when
failure happens and sets the state to aborted. Note that
this would happen on failure case. Looking at the log from
the report this will be the case as I see errors in loading
path.

/*
  * Same logic as fw_load_abort, only the DONE bit
  * is ignored and we set ABORT only on failure.
  */
  list_del_init(&fw_priv->pending_list);
  if (rc) {
       fw_state_aborted(fw_priv);
       written = rc;
  } else {
       fw_state_done(fw_priv);
  }
  break;

If another user writes to the "loading" file before it gets
deleted, if user writes 0 again, fw_sysfs_loading() will be
false, however the fallthrough will invoked fw_load_abort()
and list_del_init() will be called triggering user-after-free

Note that in __fw_load_abort() handles this window for loading
done case and doesn't for error case when fw load is aborted.

/*
  * There is a small window in which user can write to 'loading'
  * between loading done and disappearance of 'loading'
  */

if (fw_sysfs_done(fw_priv))
	return;

This fix closes the window for aborted case. However, I can't
test this because there is no reproducer.
