[PATCH] USB: gadgetfs: Fix race between mounting and unmounting

[PATCH] USB: gadgetfs: Fix race between mounting and unmounting

[Alan Stern]

The syzbot fuzzer and Gerald Lee have identified a use-after-free bug
in the gadgetfs driver, involving processes concurrently mounting and
unmounting the gadgetfs filesystem.  In particular, gadgetfs_fill_super()
can race with gadgetfs_kill_sb(), causing the latter to deallocate
the_device while the former is using it.  The output from KASAN says,
in part:

The simplest solution is to ensure that gadgetfs_fill_super() and
gadgetfs_kill_sb() are serialized by making them both acquire a new
mutex.

I really don't know if the Fixes: commit above is the one which caused
this bug, but it's a reasonable guess since it introduced one of the
two racing paths (presumably, before this commit the routines didn't
race).  In any case, this patch should apply to all the currently
maintained kernel versions.
