[PATCH 06/27] staging: lustre: Use after free in lnet_ptl_match_delay()

[James Simmons]

From: Olaf Weber <olaf@xxxxxxx>

In lnet_ptl_match_delay() we check msg->msg_rx_delayed to see whether
the message has been added to the delay queue. But this check is done
after lnet_ptl_unlock() and lnet_res_unlock(), and the message can be
processed and freed before the check.

Replace the check with checking rc against LNET_MATCHMD_NONE, which
is how the callers of lnet_ptl_match_delay() know whether the message
was added to the delay queue. To make this work we reset rc in the
loop when there was no match and the message hasn't been delayed. In
addition reorganize the code and add comments to clarify the logic.

In lnet_ptl_match_md() a similar msg->msg_rx_delayed is replaced for
the same reason.
