commit 6f363f5aa8 upstream.
We found a refcount UAF bug as follows:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 342 at lib/refcount.c:25 refcount_warn_saturate+0xa0/0x148

then a kernel panic will be triggered as below:

The race that cause this bug can be shown as below:
(hotplug cpu) | (umount cpuset)
mutex_lock(&cpuset_mutex) | mutex_lock(&cgroup_mutex)
cpuset_hotplug_workfn |
rebuild_root_domains | rebind_subsystems
update_tasks_root_domain | spin_lock_irq(&css_set_lock)
css_task_iter_start | list_move_tail(&cset->e_cset_node[ss->id]
while(css_task_iter_next) | &dcgrp->e_csets[ss->id]);
css_task_iter_end | spin_unlock_irq(&css_set_lock)
mutex_unlock(&cpuset_mutex) | mutex_unlock(&cgroup_mutex)
Inside css_task_iter_start/next/end, css_set_lock is hold and then
released, so when iterating task(left side), the css_set may be moved to
another list(right side), then it->cset_head points to the old list head
and it->cset_pos->next points to the head node of new list, which can't
be used as struct css_set.
To fix this issue, switch from all css_sets to only scgrp's css_sets to
patch in-flight iterators to preserve correct iteration, and then
update it->cset_head as well.
