[PATCH 2/2] mm/damon/sysfs-schemes: protect path kfree() with damon_sysfs_lock

[SeongJae Park]

damon_sysfs_quot_goal->path can be read and written by users, via DAMON
sysfs 'path' file.  It can also be indirectly read, for the parameters
{on,off}line committing to DAMON.  The reads for parameters committing
are protected by damon_sysfs_lock to avoid the sysfs files being
destroyed while any of the parameters are being read.  But the
user-driven direct reads and writes are not protected by any lock, while
the write is deallocating the path-pointing buffer. As a result, the
readers could read the already freed buffer (user-after-free).  Note
that the user-reads don't race when the same open file is used by the
writer, due to kernfs's open file locking.  Nonetheless, doing the reads
and writes with separate open files would be common.  Fix it by
protecting both the user-direct reads and writes with damon_sysfs_lock.
