Would you mind taking a look at
commit a942da24abc5 ("fs: erofs: add sanity check for kobject in erofs_unregister_sysfs")

, which could be "git-blame"ed (I'd suggest looking into these
blame first), and the related discussion was:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAD-N9QXNx=p3-QoWzk6pCznF32CZy8kM3vvo8mamfZZ9CpUKdw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220315075152.63789-1-dzm91@xxxxxxxxxxx

TL;DR: I guess it could be fixed as below if kobject_del() could
be killed safely:

	if (sbi->s_kobj.state_in_sysfs) {
		kobject_put(&sbi->s_kobj);
		wait_for_completion(&sbi->s_kobj_unregister);
	}

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
