We missed this patch during the -rc period. Can it be included?

it fixes invalid memory access / use-after-free .

Note: I think the original intent was that the @uuid argument
ownership was passed:
virtio_add_dmabuf/virtio_add_vhost_device
 * @uuid: new resource's UUID

It could be clarified and be passed as const like getters to eventually help...
