HID: hidraw: protect hidraw_disconnect() better The function hidraw_disconnect() only acquires the hidraw minors_lock when clearing the entry in hidraw_table. However the device_destroy() call can cause a userland read/write to return with an error. It may cause the program to release the file descripter before the disconnect is finished. hidraw_disconnect() has already set hidraw->exist to 0, which makes hidraw_release() kfree the hidraw structure, which hidraw_disconnect() continues to access and even tries to kfree again. Similarly if a hidraw_release() occurs after setting hidraw->exist to 0, the same thing can happen. This is fixed by expanding the mutex critical section to cover the whole function from setting hidraw->exist to 0 to freeing the hidraw structure, preventing a hidraw_release() from interfering.
