Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
9p: add missing locking around taking dentry fid list
Fix a use-after-free on dentry's d_fsdata fid list when a thread
looks up a fid through dentry while another thread unlinks it:
UAF thread:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

vfs_unlink+0x29a/0x810 linux/fs/namei.c:4335
The problem is that d_fsdata was not accessed under d_lock, because
d_release() normally is only called once the dentry is otherwise no
longer accessible but since we also call it explicitly in v9fs_remove
that lock is required:
move the hlist out of the dentry under lock then unref its fids once
they are no longer accessible.
