[PATCH] ceph: increment refcount before usage

[ridave@redhat.com]

From: Rishabh Dave <ridave@redhat.com>

In fs/ceph/caps.c, in "encode_cap_msg()", "use after free" error was
caught by KASAN at this line - 'ceph_buffer_get(arg->xattr_buf);'. This
implies before the refcount could be increment here, it was freed.

In same file, in "handle_cap_grant()" refcount is decremented by this
line - "ceph_buffer_put(ci->i_xattrs.blob);". It appears that a race
occurred and resource was freed by the latter line before the former
line
could increment it.

encode_cap_msg() is called by __send_cap() and __send_cap() is called by
ceph_check_caps() after calling __prep_cap(). __prep_cap() is where
"arg->xattr_buf" is assigned to "ci->i_xattrs.blob" . This is the spot
where the refcount must be increased to prevent "use after free" error.
