From: Yu Kuai <yukuai3@xxxxxxxxxx> Before commit fd571df0ac5b ("block, bfq: turn bfqq_data into an array in bfq_io_cq"), process reference is read before bfq_put_stable_ref(), and it's safe if bfq_put_stable_ref() put the last reference, because process reference will be 0 and 'stable_merge_bfqq' won't be accessed in this case. However, the commit changed the order and will cause uaf for 'stable_merge_bfqq'. In order to emphasize that bfq_put_stable_ref() can drop the last reference, fix the problem by moving bfq_put_stable_ref() to the end of bfq_setup_stable_merge().
