[PATCH] opp: Fix use-after-free in lazy_opp_tables after probe deferral

[Stephan Gerhold]

When dev_pm_opp_of_find_icc_paths() in _allocate_opp_table() returns
-EPROBE_DEFER, the opp_table is freed again, to wait until all the
interconnect paths are available.

However, if the OPP table is using required-opps then it may already
have been added to the global lazy_opp_tables list. The error path
does not remove the opp_table from the list again.

This can cause crashes later when the provider of the required-opps
is added, since we will iterate over OPP tables that have already been
freed. E.g.:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference when read
  CPU: 0 PID: 7 Comm: kworker/0:0 Not tainted 6.4.0-rc3
  PC is at _of_add_opp_table_v2 (include/linux/of.h:949
  drivers/opp/of.c:98 drivers/opp/of.c:344 drivers/opp/of.c:404
  drivers/opp/of.c:1032) -> lazy_link_required_opp_table()

Fix this by removing the opp_table from the list before freeing it.

This fixes the crash I ran into after adding an OPP table with
both "required-opps" and interconnect paths (opp-peak-kBps).

By the way, the "lazy_opp_tables" does not seem to be protected by any
locks(?) so I could imagine that theoretically there could be a race
condition while adding/removing OPP tables there. This is unrelated
to the crash I saw, though.
