zloop: fix KASAN use-after-free of tag set PUBLISHED

Description (CNA)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: zloop: fix KASAN use-after-free of tag set When a zoned loop device, or zloop device, is removed, KASAN enabled kernel reports "BUG KASAN use-after-free" in blk_mq_free_tag_set(). The BUG happens because zloop_ctl_remove() calls put_disk(), which invokes zloop_free_disk(). The zloop_free_disk() frees the memory allocated for the zlo pointer. However, after the memory is freed, zloop_ctl_remove() calls blk_mq_free_tag_set(&zlo->tag_set), which accesses the freed zlo. Hence the KASAN use-after-free. zloop_ctl_remove() put_disk(zlo->disk) put_device() kobject_put() ... zloop_free_disk() kvfree(zlo) blk_mq_free_tag_set(&zlo->tag_set) To avoid the BUG, move the call to blk_mq_free_tag_set(&zlo->tag_set) from zloop_ctl_remove() into zloop_free_disk(). This ensures that the tag_set is freed before the call to kvfree(zlo).
