    f2fs: fix UAF in f2fs_available_free_memory · 5429c9db

    -> f2fs_build_segment_manager
       -> create_discard_cmd_control
          -> f2fs_start_discard_thread
    
    It invokes kthread_run to create a thread and run issue_discard_thread.
    
    However, if f2fs_build_node_manager fails, the control flow goes to
    free_nm and calls f2fs_destroy_node_manager. This function will free
    sbi->nm_info. However, if issue_discard_thread accesses sbi->nm_info
    after the deallocation, but before the f2fs_stop_discard_thread, it will
    cause UAF(Use-after-free).
    
    -> f2fs_destroy_segment_manager
       -> destroy_discard_cmd_control
          -> f2fs_stop_discard_thread
    
    Fix this by stopping discard thread before f2fs_destroy_node_manager.
    
    Note that, the commit d6d2b491 introduces the call of
    f2fs_available_free_memory into issue_discard_thread.
