[PATCH v2] ipc/mqueue: Only perform resource calculation if user valid

From: Kees Cook

Andreas Christoforou reported:

UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in ipc/mqueue.c:414:49 signed integer overflow:
9 * 2305843009213693951 cannot be represented in type 'long int'
...
Call Trace:

Which could be triggered by:

struct mq_attr attr = {
.mq_flags = 0,
.mq_maxmsg = 9,
.mq_msgsize = 0x1fffffffffffffff,
.mq_curmsgs = 0,
};

if (mq_open("/testing", 0x40, 3, &attr) == (mqd_t) -1)
perror("mq_open");

mqueue_get_inode() was correctly rejecting the giant mq_msgsize,
and preparing to return -EINVAL. During the cleanup, it calls
mqueue_evict_inode() which performed resource usage tracking math for
updating "user", before checking if there was a valid "user" at all
(which would indicate that the calculations would be sane). Instead,
delay this check to after seeing a valid "user".

The overflow was real, but the results went unused, so while the flaw
is harmless, it's noisy for kernel fuzzers, so just fix it by moving
the calculation under the non-NULL "user" where it actually gets used.
