[PATCH 5.1 40/70] x86/insn-eval: Fix use-after-free access to LDT entry

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

From: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>

commit de9f869616dd95e95c00bdd6b0fcd3421e8a4323 upstream.

get_desc() computes a pointer into the LDT while holding a lock that
protects the LDT from being freed, but then drops the lock and returns the
(now potentially dangling) pointer to its caller.

Fix it by giving the caller a copy of the LDT entry instead.

Fixes: 670f928ba09b ("x86/insn-eval: Add utility function to get segment descriptor")
