btrfs_rm_device() removes the sysfs device entry only when
device->bdev_file is non-NULL.  A missing device (created by
add_missing_dev() for an absent disk) has bdev_file == NULL, but
btrfs_sysfs_add_device() still registers its devid kobject under
/sys/fs/btrfs/<uuid>/devinfo/<devid>.

When such a device is deleted, btrfs_free_device() frees the
btrfs_device while the devid kobject remains registered.  The kobject
is embedded in the freed btrfs_device and its show functions use
container_of() to reach it, so reading any devinfo attribute is a
use-after-free:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sysfs_kf_seq_show+0x157/0x490
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff88801d8172a8 by task poc/9385
  ...
  Freed by task 9385:
   kfree
   btrfs_rm_device+0x11ee/0x17b0
   btrfs_ioctl_rm_dev+0x265/0x400
  Allocated by task 9390:
   btrfs_alloc_device+0x7e/0x400
   device_list_add
   btrfs_scan_one_device
   btrfs_control_ioctl

The freed object is kmalloc-1k and the faulting access is 680 bytes
inside it (offsetof(struct btrfs_device, devid_kobj) = 640 plus
offsetof(struct kobject, ktype) = 40), confirming the embedded
devid_kobj.

btrfs_sysfs_remove_device() already skips the block-device link when
device->bdev is NULL and only touches the devid kobject when it is
initialized.  Call it for missing devices too.

v2: add Link, Fixes and stable tags, keep the Reviewed-by because the code is
unchanged, and remove local validation details from the commit message.
