Summary

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

drm/v3d: Stop the active perfmon before being destroyed

When running `kmscube` with one or more performance monitors enabled via `GALLIUM_HUD`, the following kernel panic can occur:

This issue arises because, upon closing the file descriptor (which happens when we interrupt `kmscube`), the active performance monitor is not stopped. Although all perfmons are destroyed in `v3d_perfmon_close_file()`, the active performance monitor's pointer (`v3d->active_perfmon`) is still retained.

If `kmscube` is run again, the driver will attempt to stop the active performance monitor using the stale pointer in `v3d->active_perfmon`. However, this pointer is no longer valid because the previous process has already terminated, and all performance monitors associated with it have been destroyed and freed.

To fix this, when the active performance monitor belongs to a given process, explicitly stop it before destroying and freeing it.
