Subject: zram: don't call idr_remove() from zram_remove()

From: Jerome Marchand <[email protected]>

commit 17ec4cd985780a7e30aa45bb8f272237c12502a4 upstream.

The use of idr_remove() is forbidden in the callback functions of idr_for_each(). It is therefore unsafe to call idr_remove in zram_remove().

This patch moves the call to idr_remove() from zram_remove() to hot_remove_store(). In the detroy_devices() path, idrs are removed by idr_destroy(). This solves an use-after-free detected by KASan.
