GHSA-9rg7-3j4f-cf4x: QueryInterface should call AddRef before returning pointer
Affected version of this crate, which is a required dependency in com-impl,
provides a faulty implementation of the IUnknown::QueryInterface method.
QueryInterface implementation must call IUnknown::AddRef before returning the pointer,
as describe in this documentation:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/unknwn/nf-unknwn-iunknown-queryinterface(refiid_void)
As it is not incrementing the refcount as expected, the following calls to IUnknown::Release method
will cause WMI to drop reference to the interface, and can lead to invalid reference.
