It invokes kthread_run to create a thread and run issue_discard_thread.

However, if f2fs_build_node_manager fails, the control flow goes to
free_nm and calls f2fs_destroy_node_manager. This function will free
sbi->nm_info. However, if issue_discard_thread accesses sbi->nm_info
after the deallocation, but before the f2fs_stop_discard_thread, it will
cause UAF(Use-after-free).

-> f2fs_destroy_segment_manager
    -> destroy_discard_cmd_control
       -> f2fs_stop_discard_thread

Fix this by stopping discard thread before f2fs_destroy_node_manager.

Note that, the commit d6d2b491a82e1 introduces the call of
f2fs_available_free_memory into issue_discard_thread.

Fixes: d6d2b491a82e ("f2fs: allow to change discard policy based on cached discard 
cmds")
