[PATCH] hfs: fix potential use after free in hfs_correct_next_unused_CNID()
From: Dan Carpenter
Date: Fri Oct 03 2025 - 05:31:29 EST
This code calls hfs_bnode_put(node) which drops the refcount and then
dreferences "node" on the next line. It's only safe to use "node"
when we're holding a reference so flip these two lines around.
Fixes: a06ec283e125 ("hfs: add logic of correcting a next unused CNID")
