[ Upstream commit 30a2da7b7e225ef6c87a660419ea04d3cef3f6a7 ]

There is a potential race between ioc_release_fn() and
ioc_clear_queue() as shown below, due to which below kernel
crash is observed. It also can result into use-after-free
issue.

context#1: context#2:
ioc_release_fn() __ioc_clear_queue() gets the same icq
->spin_lock(&ioc->lock); ->spin_lock(&ioc->lock);
->ioc_destroy_icq(icq);
->list_del_init(&icq->q_node);
->call_rcu(&icq->__rcu_head,
icq_free_icq_rcu);
->spin_unlock(&ioc->lock);
->ioc_destroy_icq(icq);
->hlist_del_init(&icq->ioc_node);
This results into below crash as this memory
is now used by icq->__rcu_head in context#1.
There is a chance that icq could be free'd
as well.

Fix this by adding a new ICQ_DESTROYED flag in ioc_destroy_icq() to
indicate this icq is once marked as destroyed. Also, ensure
__ioc_clear_queue() is accessing icq within rcu_read_lock/unlock so
that icq doesn't get free'd up while it is still using it.
