[ Upstream commit 99b79c3900d4627672c85d9f344b5b0f06bc2a4d ] Before releasing the global mutex, we only unlink the hashtable from the hash list, its proc file is still not unregistered at this point. So syzbot could trigger a race condition where a parallel htable_create() could register the same file immediately after the mutex is released. Move htable_remove_proc_entry() back to mutex protection to fix this. And, fold htable_destroy() into htable_put() to make the code slightly easier to understand.

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.
