[ Upstream commit 21b5944350052d2583e82dd59b19a9ba94a007f0 ]

(I can trivially verify that that idr_remove in cleanup_net happens
 after the network namespace count has dropped to zero --EWB)

Function get_net_ns_by_id() does not check for net::count
after it has found a peer in netns_ids idr.

It may dereference a peer, after its count has already been
finaly decremented. This leads to double free and memory
corruption:

put_net(peer)                                   rtnl_lock()
atomic_dec_and_test(&peer->count) [count=0]     ...
__put_net(peer)                                 get_net_ns_by_id(net, id)
  spin_lock(&cleanup_list_lock)
  list_add(&net->cleanup_list, &cleanup_list)
  spin_unlock(&cleanup_list_lock)
queue_work()                                      peer = idr_find(&net->netns_ids, id)
  |                                               get_net(peer) [count=1]
  |                                               ...
  |                                               (use after final put)
  v                                               ...
  cleanup_net()                                   ...

    ...                                           put_net(peer)
    ...                                             atomic_dec_and_test(&peer->count) [count=0]
    ...                                               spin_lock(&cleanup_list_lock)
    ...                                               list_add(&net->cleanup_list, &cleanup_list)
    ...                                               spin_unlock(&cleanup_list_lock)
    ...                                             queue_work()
    ...                                           rtnl_unlock()
    rtnl_lock()                                   ...
    for_each_net(tmp) {                           ...
      id = __peernet2id(tmp, peer)                ...
      spin_lock_irq(&tmp->nsid_lock)              ...
      idr_remove(&tmp->netns_ids, id)             ...
      ...                                         ...
      net_drop_ns()                               ...
	net_free(peer)                            ...
    }                                             ...
  |
  v
  cleanup_net()
    ...
    (Second free of peer)

Also, put_net() on the right cpu may reorder with left's cpu
list_replace_init(&cleanup_list, ..), and then cleanup_list
will be corrupted.

Since cleanup_net() is executed in worker thread, while
put_net(peer) can happen everywhere, there should be
enough time for concurrent get_net_ns_by_id() to pick
the peer up, and the race does not seem to be unlikely.
The patch fixes the problem in standard way.

(Also, there is possible problem in peernet2id_alloc(), which requires
check for net::count under nsid_lock and maybe_get_net(peer), but
in current stable kernel it's used under rtnl_lock() and it has to be
safe. Openswitch begun to use peernet2id_alloc(), and possibly it should
be fixed too. While this is not in stable kernel yet, so I'll send
a separate message to netdev@ later).
