This series fixes two OCFS2 heartbeat/o2net teardown races found by KASAN. This patch (of 2): Heartbeat callbacks stay registered while configfs local-node teardown enters o2net_stop_listening(). A node-down event can still run through o2net_disconnect_node() and o2net_set_nn_state() while teardown is destroying o2net_wq, so the later queue/flush operations can hit a dead workqueue.

Mark the transport offline before destroying o2net_wq, wait for any in-flight heartbeat callback to finish, and delay bring-up replay until the new local node is published through o2nm_this_node(). The replay also has to stay serialized with heartbeat callback delivery. Otherwise a live-node snapshot can be copied, a real hb_down callback can install -ENOTCONN for a peer, and the stale replay can call o2net_hb_node_up() for that same peer and queue reconnect work even though heartbeat is already down. The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the order within that path: local-node teardown: heartbeat node-down callback: 1. configfs local-off enters 1. o2hb_run_event_list() invokes o2net_stop_listening(). o2net_hb_node_down_cb(). 2. teardown heads for 2. the callback reaches destroy_workqueue(o2net_wq). o2net_disconnect_node() and o2net_set_nn_state(). 3. teardown destroys and NULLs 3. the callback flushes or queues o2net_wq. work through o2net_wq. ## Remediation Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
