ceph_x_create_authorizer() caches au->buf->vec.iov_base and
au->buf->vec.iov_len in struct ceph_auth_handshake.  These
cached values are then used by the messenger connect code when
sending the authorizer.

ceph_x_update_authorizer() can rebuild the authorizer when a newer
service ticket is available.  If the rebuilt authorizer no longer
fits in the existing buffer, ceph_x_build_authorizer() drops its
reference to au->buf and allocates a new one.  If this is the final
reference, ceph_buffer_put() frees the old ceph_buffer and its
vec.iov_base, but auth->authorizer_buf still points at that freed
memory.

A subsequent msgr1 reconnect can therefore queue the stale pointer
and trigger a KASAN slab-use-after-free in _copy_from_iter() while
tcp_sendmsg() copies the authorizer.

Refresh auth->authorizer_buf and auth->authorizer_buf_len after a
successful authorizer rebuild so the messenger sends the current
buffer.
