With IFF_NAPI_FRAGS, tun_get_user() takes tfile->napi_mutex, gets the
skb from napi_get_frags() and copies the user data into it before it
enters the RCU read-side section around napi_gro_frags().

tun_detach_all() waits with synchronize_net() and then calls
tun_napi_del() without napi_mutex.  netif_napi_del() frees napi->skb
through napi_free_frags().  A writer that is still copying has not yet
entered its RCU section, so synchronize_net() does not wait for it, and
deleting the device frees the skb while the writer is using it:

  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in skb_copy_datagram_from_iter+0x175/0x720
  Read of size 8 at addr ffff888077def990 by task br029-poc/9406

   tun_get_user+0xb42/0x3d00

  Freed by task 9405:

   unregister_netdevice_many_notify+0x1a26/0x2090
   rtnl_dellink+0x514/0x710

__tun_detach() also calls tun_napi_del() without the mutex, but only
from tun_chr_close(), when no write on that file can be in flight.

Take napi_mutex around tun_napi_del() in tun_detach_all() for both
attached and disabled queues.
