The mtd driver has similar problems than the one that was fixed in
commit dc3216b141 ("super: ensure valid info").
The kill_mtd_super() helper calls shuts the superblock down but leaves
the superblock on fs_supers as the devices are still in use but puts the
mtd device and cleans out the superblock's s_mtd field.
This means another mounter can find the superblock on the list accessing
its s_mtd field while it is curently in the process of being freed or
already freed.
Prevent that from happening by keying superblock by dev_t just as we do
in the generic code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
