Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blktrace: fix use after free for struct blk_trace When tracing the whole disk, 'dropped' and 'msg' will be created
under 'q->debugfs_dir' and 'bt->dir' is NULL, thus blk_trace_free()
won't remove those files. What's worse, the following UAF can be
triggered because of accessing stale 'dropped' and 'msg': ==================================================================
