[PATCH] USB: core: Fix free-while-in-use bug in the USB S-Glibrary

[Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>]

FuzzUSB (a variant of syzkaller) found a free-while-still-in-use bug
in the USB scatter-gather library:

This bug occurs when cancellation of the S-G transfer races with
transfer completion.  When that happens, usb_sg_cancel() may continue
to access the transfer's URBs after usb_sg_wait() has freed them.

The bug is caused by the fact that usb_sg_cancel() does not take any
sort of reference to the transfer, and so there is nothing to prevent
the URBs from being deallocated while the routine is trying to use
them.  The fix is to take such a reference by incrementing the
transfer's io->count field while the cancellation is in progres and
decrementing it afterward.  The transfer's URBs are not deallocated
until io->complete is triggered, which happens when io->count reaches
zero.
