CVE-2025-38245

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

atm: Release atmdevmutex after removing procfs in atmdevderegister().

syzbot reported a warning below during atmdevregister(). [0]

Before creating a new device and procfs/sysfs for it, atmdevregister() looks up a duplicated device by __atmdevlookup(). These operations are done under atmdevmutex.

However, when removing a device in atmdevderegister(), it releases the mutex just after removing the device from the list that __atmdevlookup() iterates over.

So, there will be a small race window where the device does not exist on the device list but procfs/sysfs are still not removed, triggering the splat.

Let's hold the mutex until procfs/sysfs are removed in atmdevderegister().
