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

erofs: reliably distinguish block based and fscache mode

When erofs_kill_sb() is called in block dev based mode, s_bdev may not
have been initialised yet, and if CONFIG_EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND is enabled,
it will be mistaken for fscache mode, and then attempt to free an anon_dev
that has never been allocated, triggering the following warning:

============================================
ida_free called for id=0 which is not allocated.
WARNING: CPU: 14 PID: 926 at lib/idr.c:525 ida_free+0x134/0x140
Modules linked in:
CPU: 14 PID: 926 Comm: mount Not tainted 6.9.0-rc3-dirty #630
RIP: 0010:ida_free+0x134/0x140
Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 erofs_kill_sb+0x81/0x90

 vfs_get_tree+0x2c/0xf0

 [...]
============================================

Now when erofs_kill_sb() is called, erofs_sb_info must have been
initialised, so use sbi->fsid to distinguish between the two modes.
