useEffect Clean-Up Function Executes After Component is Removed

This behavior has changes in React version 17.0.x.

Clean-up function should execute when the component unmounts, and I've noticed in React v.17 by the time cleanup function executes, React referenced elements are no longer available.

Working example with React v.16
Example with React v.17

Notice unmountSuccessful logs before divRef in React v.17 example.

This is the only relevant change I noticed from the changelog.

If the behavior of useEffect clean-up has changed it should be reflected on the docs.

Code Snippet:

const App = () => {
  const divRef = React.useRef(null);
  
  React.useEffect(() => {
    console.log('divRef ::', divRef.current)
    return function cleanUp() {
      console.log('[cleanUp] divRef ::', divRef.current)
    }
  }, [])
  return (
    <div ref={divRef}>
      Open Browser's Console For Output
    </div>
  )
}

ReactDOM.render(
  <App />,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

const unmountApp = () => {
  console.log('unmounting root...')
  const node = document.getElementById('root');
  const unmountSuccessful = ReactDOM.unmountComponentAtNode(node);
  console.log('unmountSuccessful ::', unmountSuccessful)
};

window.setTimeout(unmountApp, 1500);

从 issue 中链接的 React useEffect 文档开始，将其中关于清理的措辞与两个 CodePen 示例中展示的 React 17 行为进行比较。阅读与相关更改对应的已链接 changelog pull request。完成的标准是文档准确说明清理何时运行，以及被引用的元素是否仍然可用。
