Johan Hovold 1cc36ed561 firmware: qemu_fw_cfg: fix NULL-pointer deref on duplicate entries
commit d3e305592d69e21e36b76d24ca3c01971a2d09be upstream.

Commit fe3c60684377 ("firmware: Fix a reference count leak.") "fixed"
a kobject leak in the file registration helper by properly calling
kobject_put() for the entry in case registration of the object fails
(e.g. due to a name collision).

This would however result in a NULL pointer dereference when the
release function tries to remove the never added entry from the
fw_cfg_entry_cache list.

Fix this by moving the list-removal out of the release function.

Note that the offending commit was one of the benign looking umn.edu
fixes which was reviewed but not reverted. [1][2]

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
