panthor_group_destroy() checks the GROUP_REGISTERED mark and then calls
xa_erase() without holding the xarray lock across both. If the handle is
destroyed by another thread in between, and a concurrent GROUP_CREATE
reuses the freed ID, the first destroy erases and releases the new,
still-initializing group, leading to a use-after-free in
panthor_group_create().
Do the mark check and erase atomically under xa_lock().
