After device disassociation the uapi_objects are destroyed and freed, however it is still possible that core code can be holding a kref on the uobject. When it finally goes to uverbs_uobject_free() via the kref_put() it can trigger a use-after-free on the uapi_object. Since needs_kfree_rcu is a micro optimization that only benefits file uobjects, just get rid of it. There is no harm in using kfree_rcu even if it isn't required, and the number of involved objects is small.

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.
