From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 3df663a147fe077a6ee8444ec626738946e65547 ] There is a race condition in acpi_ec_get_query_handler() theoretically allowing query handlers to go away before refernce counting them. In order to avoid it, call kref_get() on query handlers under ec->mutex. Also simplify the code a bit while at it. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
