Subject: CVE-2023-53021: net/sched: sch_taprio: fix possible use-after-free

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

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

net/sched: sch_taprio: fix possible use-after-free

syzbot reported a nasty crash [1] in net_tx_action() which
made little sense until we got a repro.

This repro installs a taprio qdisc, but providing an
invalid TCA_RATE attribute.

qdisc_create() has to destroy the just initialized
taprio qdisc, and taprio_destroy() is called.

However, the hrtimer used by taprio had already fired,
therefore advance_sched() called __netif_schedule().

Then net_tx_action was trying to use a destroyed qdisc.

We can not undo the __netif_schedule(), so we must wait
until one cpu serviced the qdisc before we can proceed.

Many thanks to Alexander Potapenko for his help.

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:
