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

drm/imagination: Fix double call to drm_sched_entity_fini()

Call sequence of double call:
pvr_context_destroy
  pvr_context_kill_queues
    pvr_queue_kill
      drm_sched_entity_destroy
        drm_sched_entity_fini // here
  pvr_context_put
    kref_put(..., pvr_context_release)
      pvr_context_destroy_queues
        pvr_queue_destroy
          drm_sched_entity_fini // here

Call to drm_sched_entity_destroy() from pvr_context_kill_queues() calls
drm_sched_entity_flush() + drm_sched_entity_fini().
drm_sched_entity_flush() ensures all pending jobs are completed and
drm_sched_entity_fini() ensures no further submission is allowed as
per expectation from pvr_context_kill_queues(). Double call to
drm_sched_entity_fini() is misuse of the API so keep call only in
pvr_context_create() failure path.
