[PATCH] ocxl: cancel xsl fault work before freeing the SPA to avoid use-after-free

[hyunjungg]

From: Hyunjung Ko <hj351016@gmail.com>

The XSL translation-fault interrupt handler schedules
spa->xsl_fault.fault_work (xsl_fault_handler_bh), which dereferences the
fault and the SPA (via container_of) and acks the interrupt. free_link()
calls release_xsl_irq() -- which frees the XSL interrupt so no new
fault_work can be scheduled -- and then free_spa(), which frees the SPA.
Neither cancels a fault_work that was already queued by the last
interrupt. As it runs on the system workqueue with no timing bound, it
can execute after the SPA has been freed, dereferencing freed memory --
a use-after-free.

Cancel the fault work in free_spa() before the SPA is freed. By that
point release_xsl_irq() has freed the interrupt, so the work cannot be
re-queued and cancel_work_sync() is sufficient. The interrupt top half
takes a reference on the faulting mm that the bottom half is expected to
release, so if cancel_work_sync() cancels a not-yet-run work, drop that
reference here to avoid leaking it.
