## Overview

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

dmaengine: idxd: Refactor remove call with idxd_cleanup() helper

The idxd_cleanup() helper cleans up perfmon, interrupts, internals and
so on. Refactor remove call with the idxd_cleanup() helper to avoid code
duplication. Note, this also fixes the missing put_device() for idxd
groups, enginces and wqs.
