In async IO blocking case the additional reference to the io is taken for it to survive fuse_aio_complete(). In non blocking case this additional reference is not needed, however we still reference io to figure out whether to wait for completion or not. This is wrong and will lead to use-after-free. Fix it by storing blocking information in separate variable. This was spotted by KASAN when running generic/208 fstest.

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.
