Bart Van Assche 407badf73e loop: Fix use-after-free issues 
[ Upstream commit 9b0cb770f5 ]

do_req_filebacked() calls blk_mq_complete_request() synchronously or
asynchronously when using asynchronous I/O unless memory allocation fails.
Hence, modify loop_handle_cmd() such that it does not dereference 'cmd' nor
'rq' after do_req_filebacked() finished unless we are sure that the request
has not yet been completed. This patch fixes the following kernel crash:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000054

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
