firmware loader: fix pending_fw_head list corruption
Got the following oops just before reboot:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
[<8028d300>] (__list_del_entry+0x44/0xac)
[<802e3320>] (__fw_load_abort.part.13+0x1c/0x50)
[<802e337c>] (fw_shutdown_notify+0x28/0x50)
[<80034f80>] (notifier_call_chain.isra.1+0x5c/0x9c)
[<800350ec>] (__blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x44/0x58)
[<80035114>] (blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x14/0x18)
[<80035d64>] (kernel_restart_prepare+0x14/0x38)
[<80035d94>] (kernel_restart+0xc/0x50)
The following race condition triggers here:
_request_firmware_load()
device_create_file(...)
kobject_uevent(...)
(schedule)
(resume)
firmware_loading_store(1)
firmware_loading_store(0)
list_del_init(&buf->pending_list)
(schedule)
(resume)
list_add(&buf->pending_list, &pending_fw_head);
wait_for_completion(&buf->completion);
causing an oops later when walking pending_list after the firmware has
been released.
The proposed fix is to move the list_add() before sysfs attribute
creation.
