This UAF happens because we're accessing stale zone information of a
already removed btrfs_device in do_zone_finish().

The sequence of events is as follows:

btrfs_dev_replace_start
btrfs_scrub_dev
btrfs_dev_replace_finishing
btrfs_dev_replace_update_device_in_mapping_tree <-- devices replaced
btrfs_rm_dev_replace_free_srcdev
btrfs_free_device <-- device freed

cleaner_kthread
btrfs_delete_unused_bgs
btrfs_zone_finish
do_zone_finish <-- refers the freed device

The reason for this is that we're using a
