CVE-2021-47656
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

jffs2: fix use-after-free in jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem

When we mount a jffs2 image, assume that the first few blocks of
the image are normal and contain at least one xattr-related inode,
but the next block is abnormal. As a result, an error is returned
in jffs2_scan_eraseblock(). jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem() is then
called in jffs2_build_filesystem() and then again in
jffs2_do_fill_super().

Finally we can observe the following report:

 ==================================================================

The triggering of the BUG is shown in the following stack:
-----------------------------------------------------------
jffs2_fill_super
  jffs2_do_fill_super
    jffs2_do_mount_fs
      jffs2_build_filesystem
        jffs2_scan_medium
          jffs2_scan_eraseblock        <--- ERROR
        jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem    <--- free
    jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem        <--- free again
-----------------------------------------------------------

An error is returned in jffs2_do_mount_fs(). If the error is returned
by jffs2_sum_init(), the jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem() does not need to
be executed. If the error is returned by jffs2_build_filesystem(), the
jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem() also does not need to be executed again.
So move jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem() from 'out_inohash' to 'out_root'
to fix this UAF problem.
