📋 Description

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

bpf: Fix a potential use-after-free in bpf_link_free()

After commit 1a80dbcb2dba, bpf_link can be freed by link->ops->dealloc_deferred, but the code still tests and uses link->ops->dealloc afterward, which leads to a use-after-free as reported by syzbot. Actually, one of them should be sufficient, so just call one of them instead of both. Also add a WARN_ON() in case of any problematic implementation.
