From: Denis Rastyogin <ger...@altlinux.org> This error was discovered by fuzzing qemu-img.
In the QED block driver, the need_check_timer timer is freed in bdrv_qed_detach_aio_context, but the pointer to the timer is not set to NULL. This can lead to a use-after-free scenario in bdrv_qed_drain_begin(). The need_check_timer pointer is set to NULL after freeing the timer. Which helps catch this condition when checking in bdrv_qed_drain_begin().
