stm class: Lose the protocol driver when dropping its reference
Commit c7fd62bc69d02 ("stm class: Introduce framing protocol drivers") forgot to tear down the link between an stm device and its protocol driver when policy is removed. This leads to an invalid pointer reference if one tries to write to an stm device after the policy has been removed and the protocol driver module unloaded, leading to the below splat: > BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffc0737068 > #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode > #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page > PGD 3d780f067 P4D 3d780f067 PUD 3d7811067 PMD 492781067 PTE 0 > Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI > CPU: 1 PID: 26122 Comm: cat Not tainted 5.4.0-rc5+ #1 > RIP: 0010:stm_output_free+0x40/0xc0 [stm_core] > Call Trace: > stm_char_release+0x3e/0x70 [stm_core] > __fput+0xc6/0x260 > ____fput+0xe/0x10 > task_work_run+0x9d/0xc0 > exit_to_usermode_loop+0x103/0x110 > do_syscall_64+0x19d/0x1e0 > entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9 Fix this by tearing down the link from an stm device to its protocol driver when the policy involving that driver is removed.
