o2hb_shutdown_slot() returns immediately when its node is no longer
in the configfs registry. A slot can still be linked in o2hb_live_slots
when that lookup fails. Region teardown or startup-error cleanup then
frees the slot array without removing its embedded list member.

With the same peer live in another region, the next list update can
follow a predecessor into the freed array. Reusing the node number can
also make a later insertion encounter that stale member.

Always remove the slot under o2hb_live_lock, even when node lookup
fails. Preserve aggregate membership accounting and the last-region
DOWN callback: the existing callback interface explicitly permits a
NULL node for DOWN events. Only drop the node reference when lookup
returned one. This closes both normal release and startup-abort paths
without changing the publication or callback locking protocol.

A controlled probe-instrumented test reproduced this while stopping
one of two regions after removing the peer from configfs. Its KASAN
report includes:
