In ext4_put_super, we call brelse on the buffer head containing the ext4 superblock, but then try to use it when we stop the mmp thread, because when the thread shuts down it does: write_mmp_block ext4_mmp_csum_set ext4_has_metadata_csum WARN_ON_ONCE(ext4_has_feature_metadata_csum(sb)...) which reaches into sb->s_fs_info->s_es->s_feature_ro_compat, which lives in the superblock buffer s_sbh which we just released. Fix this by moving the brelse down to a point where we are no longer using it.
