The PCI code has several paths where the struct pci_host_bridge is freed
directly. This is wrong because it contains a struct device which is
refcounted and should be freed using put_device(). This can result in
use-after-free errors. I think this problem has existed since 2012 with
commit 7b5436635800 ("PCI: add generic device into pci_host_bridge
struct"). It generally hasn't mattered as most host bridge drivers are
still built-in and can't unbind.
The problem is a struct device should never be freed directly once
device_initialize() is called and a ref is held, but that doesn't happen
until pci_register_host_bridge(). There's then a window between
allocating the host bridge and pci_register_host_bridge() where kfree
should be used. This is fragile and requires callers to do the right
thing. To fix this, we need to split device_register() into
device_initialize() and device_add() calls, so that the host bridge
struct is always freed by using a put_device().
devm_pci_alloc_host_bridge() is using devm_kzalloc() to allocate struct
pci_host_bridge which will be freed directly. Instead, we can use a
custom devres action to call put_device().
