commit 5c02c447eaeda29d3da121a2e17b97ccaf579b51 upstream. Syzbot reports that "hiddev" is used after it's free in hiddev_disconnect(). The hiddev_disconnect() function sets "hiddev->exist = 0;" so hiddev_release() can free it as soon as we drop the "existancelock" lock. This patch moves the mutex_unlock(&hiddev->existancelock) until after we have finished using it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
