Now that we pass the xfs_defer_pending object into the intent item
recovery functions, we know exactly when ownership of the sole refcount
passes from the recovery context to the intent done item. At that
point, we need to null out dfp_intent so that the recovery mechanism
won't release it. This should fix the UAF problem reported by Long Li.
Note that we still want to recreate the full deferred work state. That
will be addressed in the next patches.

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.
