drbd: fix potential access after free
Occasionally, if we disconnect, we triggered this assert: block drbd7: ASSERT FAILED tl_hash[27] == c30b0f04, expected NULL hlist_del() happens only on master bio completion. We used to wait for pending IO to complete before freeing tl_hash on disconnect. We no longer do so, since we learned to "freeze" IO on disconnect. If the local disk is too slow, we may reach C_STANDALONE early, and there are still some requests pending locally when we call drbd_free_tl_hash(). If we now free the tl_hash, and later the local IO completion completes the master bio, which then does hlist_del() and clobbers freed memory. Do hlist_del_init() and hlist_add_fake() before kfree(tl_hash), so the hlist_del() on master bio completion is harmless.
