commit ea60ed6fcf29eebc78f2ce91491e6309ee005a01 upstream.

KASAN reports a use-after-free when running xfstest generic/531, with the
following trace:

[ 293.903365] rb_erase+0x1f/0x790

[ 293.903417] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

This happens because __ceph_remove_cap() may queue a cap release
(__ceph_queue_cap_release) which can be scheduled before that cap is
removed from the inode list with

rb_erase(&cap->ci_node, &ci->i_caps);

And, when this finally happens, the use-after-free will occur.

This can be fixed by removing the cap from the inode list before being
removed from the session list, and thus eliminating the risk of an UAF.
