CVE-2021-47549

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

sata_fsl: fix UAF in sata_fsl_port_stop when rmmod sata_fsl

When the `rmmod sata_fsl.ko` command is executed in the PPC64 GNU/Linux,
a bug is reported:

 ==================================================================

The triggering of the BUG is shown in the following stack:

driver_detach
  device_release_driver_internal
    __device_release_driver
      drv->remove(dev) --> platform_drv_remove/platform_remove
        drv->remove(dev) --> sata_fsl_remove
          iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base);			<---- unmap
          kfree(host_priv);                             <---- free
      devres_release_all
        release_nodes
          dr->node.release(dev, dr->data) --> ata_host_stop
            ap->ops->port_stop(ap) --> sata_fsl_port_stop
                ioread32(hcr_base + HCONTROL)           <---- UAF
            host->ops->host_stop(host)

The iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base) and kfree(host_priv) functions should
not be executed in drv->remove. These functions should be executed in
host_stop after port_stop. Therefore, we move these functions to the
new function sata_fsl_host_stop and bind the new function to host_stop.

CWE-416 Use After Free

The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory "belongs" to the code that operates on the new pointer.
