[PATCH] fs/pipe: Deinitialize the watch_queue when pipe is freed
From: Haimin Zhang
Date: Sat May 07 2022 - 07:56:22 EST
From: Haimin Zhang <tcs_kernel@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Add a new function call to deinitialize the watch_queue of a freed pipe.
When a pipe node is freed, it doesn't make pipe->watch_queue->pipe null.
Later when function post_one_notification is called, it will use this
field, but it has been freed and watch_queue->pipe is a dangling pointer.
It makes a uaf issue.

The following is the callstacks:
1. The pipe was created as follows:

```
3. The dangling pointer was used:
