Commit 4fde46f0cc71 ("Btrfs: free the stale device") introduced
btrfs_free_stale_device which iterates the device lists for all
registered btrfs filesystems and deletes those devices which aren't
mounted. In a btrfs_devices structure has only 1 device attached to it
and it is unused then btrfs_free_stale_devices will proceed to also
free the btrfs_fs_devices struct itself. Currently this leads to a UAF
since list_for_each_entry will try to perform a check on the already-
freed memory to see if it has to terminated the loop.

The fix is to use 'break' when we know we are freeing the current
fs_devs.

 No break is needed as we need to iterate all stale devices and delete
 the found stale entry, so commit [1] used list_for_each_entry_safe()
 and removed the break,

  Author: Anand Jain <anand.j...@oracle.com>
    btrfs: make btrfs_free_stale_device() to iterate all stales


 I am guessing UAF might be in[2], instead ?

 [2]
    free_fs_devices(fs_devs)
::
        while (!list_empty(&fs_devices->devices)) {
                device = list_entry(fs_devices->devices.next,
                                    struct btrfs_device, dev_list);

Thanks, Anand
