[PATCH] net/9p/usbg: fix descriptor cleanup use-after-free

Message-ID <[email protected]>
usb9pfs_free_func() frees the f_usb9pfs object before calling
usb_free_all_descriptors().  The usb_function passed to the latter is
embedded in the freed object, so removing the function from a gadget
dereferences freed memory.

The failing teardown sequence is:

  configfs unlink
    usb9pfs_free_func()
      kfree(usb9pfs)
      usb_free_all_descriptors(f)
        dereference the embedded usb_function

KASAN reported:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in usb_free_all_descriptors+0x138/0x190
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888106a73088 by task poc/95
  Call Trace:
   usb_free_all_descriptors+0x138/0x190
   config_usb_cfg_unlink+0x1f0/0x2f0
   configfs_unlink+0x321/0x6f0

Free the descriptors before freeing their containing object.
