Subject: [PATCH] xfs: take hm->lock around __xfs_healthmon_insert() callers
Author: kartikey406@gmail.com

#syz test: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git master


__xfs_healthmon_insert() asserts that hm->lock is held, but both of
its callers invoked it without the lock held:

 - xfs_ioc_health_monitor() inserted the initial RUNNING event right
   after allocating hm, before ever taking the lock.
 - xfs_healthmon_unmount() inserted the UNMOUNT event on an already
   published, shared hm without locking it, racing against
   concurrent event producers on the same monitor.

Take hm->lock around both calls.
