[SECURITY PATCH 2/8] kern/file: Call grub_dl_unref() after fs->fs_close()

From: Thomas Frauendorfer | Miray Software <[email protected]>

With commit 16f196874 (kern/file: Implement filesystem reference
counting) files hold a reference to their file systems.

When closing a file in grub_file_close() we should not expect
file->fs to stay valid after calling grub_dl_unref() on file->fs->mod.
So, grub_dl_unref() should be called after file->fs->fs_close().

Fixes: CVE-2025-54771
Fixes: 16f196874 (kern/file: Implement filesystem reference counting)
