B-tree nodes with a zero reference count remain in the node hash until
folio reclaim or tree teardown frees them.  The folio release callbacks
remove nodes while holding hash_lock, but hfs_btree_close() walks and
frees the same hash without that lock.  Reclaim can therefore unhash and
free a node after close has loaded its pointer, causing a use-after-free
or double-free.

The following syzkaller crashes seem to be the same UAF in
{hfs,hfsplus}_btree_close() (or {hfs,hfsplus}_bnode_unhash()) and follow
the same pattern, but do not contain a reproducer to confirm.

Detach each node with hfs_bnode_unhash() while holding hash_lock before
inspecting and freeing it.  Drop the lock before hfs_bnode_free() so a
large tree is not freed while holding a spinlock.  Apply the same fix to
the matching HFS+ implementation.
