mm: vmalloc: prevent use after free in _vm_unmap_aliases

Browse source 
A potential use after free can occur in _vm_unmap_aliases where an already
freed vmap_area could be accessed, Consider the following scenario:

Process 1						Process 2

__vm_unmap_aliases					__vm_unmap_aliases
	purge_fragmented_blocks_allcpus				rcu_read_lock()
		rcu_read_lock()
			list_del_rcu(&vb->free_list)
									list_for_each_entry_rcu(vb .. )
	__purge_vmap_area_lazy
		kmem_cache_free(va)
										va_start = vb->va->va_start

Here Process 1 is in purge path and it does list_del_rcu on vmap_block and
later frees the vmap_area, since Process 2 was holding the rcu lock at
this time vmap_block will still be present in and Process 2 accesse it and
thereby it tries to access vmap_area of that vmap_block which was already
freed by Process 1 and this results in use after free.

Fix this by adding a check for vb->dirty before accessing vmap_area
structure since vb->dirty will be set to VMAP_BBMAP_BITS in purge path
checking for this will prevent the use after free.
