[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.2 045/171] mm/hmm: fix use after free with struct hmm in the mmu notifiers

[ Upstream commit 6d7c3cde93c1d9ac0b37f78ec3f2ff052159a242 ]

mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release() is not a fence and the mmu_notifier
system will continue to reference hmm->mn until the srcu grace period
expires.

Resulting in use after free races like this:

CPU0 CPU1
__mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start()
srcu_read_lock
hlist_for_each ()
// mn == hmm->mn
hmm_mirror_unregister()
hmm_put()
hmm_free()
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release()
hlist_del_init_rcu(hmm-mn->list)
mn->ops->invalidate_range_start(mn, range);
mm_get_hmm()
mm->hmm = NULL;
kfree(hmm)
mutex_lock(&hmm->lock);

Use SRCU to kfree the hmm memory so that the notifiers can rely on hmm
existing. Get the now-safe hmm struct through container_of and directly
check kref_get_unless_zero to lock it against free.
