[PATCH] fork: Don't let copy_exec_state() fail before rt_mutex_init_task()

[Christian Aurich Zanettini Martins <christian.aurichzm@gmail.com>]

Since commit 6b1c66c9cca9 ("exec_state: relocate dumpable information"),
copy_exec_state() can fail before rt_mutex_init_task() has reset the PI
state that dup_task_struct() copied from the parent. If the allocation
fails while the parent owns an rt_mutex with waiters, such as a
contended PI futex, free_task() finds the parent's waiters in the child
and warns with CONFIG_DEBUG_RT_MUTEXES=y:

  DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(!RB_EMPTY_ROOT(&task->pi_waiters.rb_root))
  WARNING: kernel/locking/rtmutex_api.c:538 at rt_mutex_debug_task_free+0x7c/0xa0, CPU#0: repro/75
  Call Trace:
   free_task+0x34/0x80
   copy_process+0x5e6/0x2550
   kernel_clone+0xd7/0x420

This also turns lock debugging off until reboot, or panics with
panic_on_warn.

Commit 08cacffeef8f ("ftrace: fork: Initialize function graph state
before copy_exec_state()") fixed the same problem for the function graph
stack. Move copy_exec_state() down to just before copy_creds(). That
restores the order from before 6b1c66c9cca9, where copy_creds() was the
first step that could fail.

Fixes: 6b1c66c9cca9 ("exec_state: relocate dumpable information")

Notes:
    Reproduced in QEMU with failslab on the task_exec_state cache while the
    forking thread holds a PI futex another thread is waiting on. With this
    patch the fork just fails with -ENOMEM.
    
    Based on v7.4-rc1.
