Subject: CVE-2022-48674: erofs: fix pcluster use-after-free on UP platforms

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

erofs: fix pcluster use-after-free on UP platforms

During stress testing with CONFIG_SMP disabled, KASAN reports as below:

==================================================================
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in __mutex_lock+0xe5/0xc30

 do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90

The root cause is that erofs_workgroup_unfreeze() doesn't reset to
orig_val thus it causes a race that the pcluster reuses unexpectedly
before freeing.

Since UP platforms are quite rare now, such path becomes unnecessary.
Let's drop such specific-designed path directly instead.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-48674 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
