Subject: mm/dmapool.c: fix possible use after free in dmam_pool_destroy()
From: Maxin B John <maxin.john@xxxxxxxxx>
"dma_pool_destroy(pool)" calls "kfree(pool)". The freed pointer "pool" is
again passed as an argument to the function "devres_destroy()". This
patch fixes the possible use after free.
It's notabug at this time, but the code is dangerous.
