[PATCH] hfs/hfsplus: serialize B-tree close against folio release

B-tree nodes with a zero reference count remain in the node hash until
folio reclaim or tree teardown frees them. The folio release callbacks
remove nodes while holding hash_lock, but hfs_btree_close() walks and
frees the same hash without that lock. Reclaim can therefore unhash and
free a node after close has loaded its pointer, causing a use-after-free
or double-free.
Detach each node with hfs_bnode_unhash() while holding hash_lock before
inspecting and freeing it. Drop the lock before hfs_bnode_free() so a
large tree is not freed while holding a spinlock. Apply the same fix to
the matching HFS+ implementation.
