[ Upstream commit 51d00899f7e6ded15c89cb4e2cb11a35283bac81 ]

Dmitry (through syzbot) reported being able to trigger the WARN in
get_pi_state() and a use-after-free on:

	raw_spin_lock_irq(&pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock);

Both are due to this race:

  exit_pi_state_list()				put_pi_state()

  lock(&curr->pi_lock)
  while() {
	pi_state = list_first_entry(head);
	hb = hash_futex(&pi_state->key);
	unlock(&curr->pi_lock);

						dec_and_test(&pi_state->refcount);

	lock(&hb->lock)
	lock(&pi_state->pi_mutex.wait_lock)	// uaf if pi_state free'd
	lock(&curr->pi_lock);

	....

	unlock(&curr->pi_lock);
	get_pi_state();				// WARN; refcount==0

The problem is we take the reference count too late, and don't allow it
being 0. Fix it by using inc_not_zero() and simply retrying the loop
when we fail to get a refcount. In that case put_pi_state() should
remove the entry from the list.
