From: "dan.carpenter@oracle.com" <dan.carpenter@oracle.com> commit 5c02c447eaeda29d3da121a2e17b97ccaf579b51 upstream. Syzbot reports that "hiddev" is used after it's free in hiddev_disconnect(). The hiddev_disconnect() function sets "hiddev->exist = 0;" so hiddev_release() can free it as soon as we drop the "existancelock" lock. This patch moves the mutex_unlock(&hiddev->existancelock) until after we have finished using it.
