[PATCH 5.15 820/913] ubifs: Fix ui->dirty race between do_tmpfile() and writeback work

commit 60eb3b9c9f11206996f57cb89521824304b305ad upstream.

'ui->dirty' is not protected by 'ui_mutex' in function do_tmpfile() which
may race with ubifs_write_inode[wb_workfn] to access/update 'ui->dirty',
finally dirty space is released twice.

open(O_TMPFILE) wb_workfn
do_tmpfile
ubifs_budget_space(ino_req = { .dirtied_ino = 1})
d_tmpfile // mark inode(tmpfile) dirty
ubifs_jnl_update // without holding tmpfile's ui_mutex
mark_inode_clean(ui)
if (ui->dirty)
ubifs_release_dirty_inode_budget(ui) // release first time
ubifs_write_inode
mutex_lock(&ui->ui_mutex)
ubifs_release_dirty_inode_budget(ui)
// release second time
mutex_unlock(&ui->ui_mutex)
ui->dirty = 0

Run generic/476 can reproduce following message easily
(See reproducer in [Link]):

UBIFS error (ubi0:0 pid 2578): ubifs_assert_failed [ubifs]: UBIFS assert
failed: c->bi.dd_growth >= 0, in fs/ubifs/budget.c:554
UBIFS warning (ubi0:0 pid 2578): ubifs_ro_mode [ubifs]: switched to
read-only mode, error -22
Workqueue: writeback wb_workfn (flush-ubifs_0_0)
Call Trace:

ubifs_write_inode+0x121/0x1f0 [ubifs]
...
wb_workfn+0x283/0x7b0

Fix it by holding tmpfile ubifs inode lock during ubifs_jnl_update().
Similar problem exists in whiteout renaming, but previous fix("ubifs:
Rename whiteout atomically") has solved the problem.
