commit 6a0990eaa768dfb7064f06777743acc6d392084b upstream.
Clearing ch->device in ch_release() is wrong because that pointer must remain valid until ch_remove() is called. This patch fixes the following crash the second time a ch device is opened:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000790 RIP: 0010:scsi_device_get+0x5/0x60 Call Trace: ch_open+0x4c/0xa0 [ch] chrdev_open+0xa2/0x1c0 do_dentry_open+0x13a/0x380 path_openat+0x591/0x1470 do_filp_open+0x91/0x100 do_sys_open+0x184/0x220 do_syscall_64+0x5f/0x1a0 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9
