This use-after-free happens when a fw_priv object has been freed but
hasn't been removed from the pending list (pending_fw_head). The next
time fw_load_sysfs_fallback tries to insert into the list, it ends up
accessing the pending_list member of the previoiusly freed fw_priv.
The root cause here is that all code paths that abort the fw load
don't delete it from the pending list. For example:
_request_firmware()
-> fw_abort_batch_reqs()
-> fw_state_aborted()
To fix this, delete the fw_priv from the list in __fw_set_state() if
the new state is DONE or ABORTED. This way, all aborts will remove
the fw_priv from the list. Accordingly, remove calls to list_del_init
that were being made before calling fw_state_(aborted|done).
Also, in fw_load_sysfs_fallback, don't add the fw_priv to the pending
list if it is already aborted. Instead, just jump out and return early.

fw_load_sysfs_fallback")

Changes in v3:
Modified the patch to incorporate suggestions by Luis Chamberlain in
order to fix the root cause instead of applying a "band-aid" kind of
fix.

Changes in v2:
1. Fixed 1 error and 1 warning (in the commit message) reported by
checkpatch.pl. The error was regarding the format for referring to
another commit "commit <sha> ("oneline")". The warning was for line
longer than 75 chars.
