commit 55acdd926f6b21a5cdba23da98a48aedf19ac9c3 upstream.
Can be reproduced when running dlm_controld (tested on 4.4.x, 4.12.4): # seq 1 100 | xargs -P0 -n1 dlm_tool join # seq 1 100 | xargs -P0 -n1 dlm_tool leave
misc_register fails due to duplicate sysfs entry, which causes dlm_device_register to free ls->ls_device.name. In dlm_device_deregister the name was freed again, causing memory corruption.
According to the comment in dlm_device_deregister the name should've been set to NULL when registration fails, so this patch does that.
