Subject: CVE-2024-53160: rcu/kvfree: Fix data-race in __mod_timer / kvfree_call_rcu

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

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

rcu/kvfree: Fix data-race in __mod_timer / kvfree_call_rcu

KCSAN reports a data race when access the krcp->monitor_work.timer.expires
variable in the schedule_delayed_monitor_work() function:

Reported by Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer on:
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 56 Comm: kworker/u8:4 Not tainted 6.12.0-rc2-syzkaller-00050-g5b7c893ed5ed #0
Hardware name: Google Google Compute Engine/Google Compute Engine, BIOS Google 09/13/2024
Workqueue: events_unbound kfree_rcu_monitor
<snip>

kfree_rcu_monitor() rearms the work if a "krcp" has to be still
offloaded and this is done without holding krcp->lock, whereas
the kvfree_call_rcu() holds it.

Fix it by acquiring the "krcp->lock" for kfree_rcu_monitor() so
both functions do not race anymore.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2024-53160 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:
