NAK.

The allocated state could have been added to a btrfsic_dev_state which
in turn is linked by btrfsic_dev_state_hashtable_add. So when later
ds->state is dereferenced it will case a UAF and likely result in crash.

Looking at the integrity code I also don't like how it's structured e.g.
if a memory error occurs then only some devices will be added to the
btrfsic_dev_State_hashtable and the super block is not going to be
validated at all.
