ida: Free correct IDA bitmap
There's a relatively rare race where we look at the per-cpu preallocated
IDA bitmap, see it's NULL, allocate a new one, and atomically update it.
If the kmalloc() happened to sleep and we were rescheduled to a different
CPU, or an interrupt came in at the exact right time, another task
might have successfully allocated a bitmap and already deposited it.
I forgot what the semantics of cmpxchg() were and ended up freeing the
wrong bitmap leading to KASAN reporting a use-after-free.
Dmitry found the bug with syzkaller & wrote the patch. I wrote the test
case that will reproduce the bug without his patch being applied.
