userland closes ep0\nand then unmounts f_fs.\nIf userland provided an eventfd along with function's USB descriptors, it\nends up calling eventfd_ctx_put as many times, causing a refcount\nunderflow.\nNULL-ify ffs_eventfd to prevent these extraneous eventfd_ctx_put calls.\n\nAlso, set epfiles to NULL right after de-allocating it, for readability.\n\nFor completeness, ffs_data_clear actually ends up being called thrice, the\nlast call being before the whole ffs structure gets freed, so when this\nspecific sequence happens there is a second underflow happening (but not\nbeing reported):\n\n/sys/kernel/debug/tracing# modprobe usb_f_fs\n/sys/kernel/debug/tracing# echo ffs_data_clear > set_ftrace_filter\n/sys/kernel/debug/tracing# echo function >
