Subject: [PATCH] block, bfq: fix uaf for 'stable_merge_bfqq'

From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@...wei.com>

Before commit fd571df0ac5b ("block, bfq: turn bfqq_data into an array
in bfq_io_cq"), process reference is read before bfq_put_stable_ref(),
and it's safe if bfq_put_stable_ref() put the last reference, because
process reference will be 0 and 'stable_merge_bfqq' won't be accessed
in this case. However, the commit changed the order and  will cause
uaf for 'stable_merge_bfqq'.

In order to emphasize that bfq_put_stable_ref() can drop the last
reference, fix the problem by moving bfq_put_stable_ref() to the end of
bfq_setup_stable_merge().

Fixes: fd571df0ac5b ("block, bfq: turn bfqq_data into an array in bfq_io_cq")
