Subject: [PATCH] gfs2: Fix slab-use-after-free in gfs2_qd_dispose

In gfs2_qd_dispose(), the quota data (qd) is removed from qd_list and
qd_hlist, but not removed from the LRU list before call_rcu() is
invoked to free the object.

This can lead to a use-after-free when the shrinker (gfs2_qd_shrink_scan)
runs concurrently with filesystem unmount. The shrinker attempts to walk
the LRU list via list_lru_shrink_walk(), accessing quota data that has
already been freed by the RCU callback (gfs2_qd_dealloc).

Fix this by calling list_lru_del_obj() to remove the quota data from
the LRU list before scheduling the RCU callback.

Fixes: faada74a90563 ("gfs2: Factor out duplicate quota data disposal code")
