[PATCH] pinctrl: qcom: fix a use-after-free bug in system shutdown path

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

msm_pinctrl_probe() allocates the pctrl structure via devm_kzalloc() and
unconditionally populates the global variables poweroff_pctrl and
pm_power_off.

If msm_pinctrl_probe() subsequently fails, devres resources - including
the memory allocated for pctrl - are automatically freed. However, the
global pointers are never cleared, resulting in a use-after-free during
kernel_power_off().

Schedule a devres action clearing the global pointers that runs before
the pctrl memory is freed.
