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

block: don’t call rq_qos_ops->done_bio if the bio isn’t tracked

rq_qos framework is only applied on request based driver, so:

rq_qos_done_bio() needn’t to be called for bio based driver
rq_qos_done_bio() needn’t to be called for bio which isn’t tracked,
such as bios ended from error handling code.

Especially in bio_endio():

request queue is referred via bio->bi_bdev->bd_disk->queue, which
may be gone since request queue refcount may not be held in above two
cases
q->rq_qos may be freed in blk_cleanup_queue() when calling into
__rq_qos_done_bio()

Fix the potential kernel panic by not calling rq_qos_ops->done_bio if
the bio isn’t tracked. This way is safe because both ioc_rqos_done_bio()
and blkcg_iolatency_done_bio() are nop if the bio isn’t tracked.
