In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/smc: protect link down work from execute after lgr freed

link down work may be scheduled before lgr freed but execute
after lgr freed, which may result in crash. So it is need to
hold a reference before shedule link down work, and put the
reference after work executed or canceled.

The relevant crash call stack as follows:
list_del corruption. prev->next should be ffffb638c9c0fe20,
but was 0000000000000000
