Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

spi: fix use-after-free of the add_lock mutex

Commit 6098475d4cb4 ("spi: Fix deadlock when adding SPI controllers on
SPI buses") introduced a per-controller mutex. But mutex_unlock() of
said lock is called after the controller is already freed:

spi_unregister_controller(ctlr)
-> put_device(&ctlr->dev)
-> spi_controller_release(dev)
-> mutex_unlock(&ctrl->add_lock)

Move the put_device() after the mutex_unlock().
