[ Upstream commit 86e6ca55b83c575ab0f2e105cf08f98e58d3d7af ]

blkcg_unpin_online() walks up the blkcg hierarchy putting the online pin. To walk up, it uses blkcg_parent(blkcg) but it was calling that after blkcg_destroy_blkgs(blkcg) which could free the blkcg, leading to the following UAF:

Note that the UAF is not easy to trigger as the free path is indirected behind a couple RCU grace periods and a work item execution. I could only trigger it with artifical msleep() injected in blkcg_unpin_online().

Fix it by reading the parent pointer before destroying the blkcg's blkg's.
