Subject: [PATCH v5] x86/sgx: Fix use-after-free in sgx_mmu_notifier_release()

The most trivial example of a race condition can be demonstrated by this
sequence where mm_list contains just one entry:

CPU A                           CPU B
-> sgx_release()
                                -> sgx_mmu_notifier_release()
                                -> list_del_rcu()
                                <- list_del_rcu()
-> kref_put()
-> sgx_encl_release()
                                -> synchronize_srcu()
-> cleanup_srcu_struct()

A sequence similar to this has also been spotted in tests under high
stress:

[  +0.000008] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 7620 at kernel/rcu/srcutree.c:374 cleanup_srcu_struct+0xed/0x100

Albeit not spotted in the tests, it's also entirely possible that the
following scenario could happen:

CPU A                           CPU B
-> sgx_release()
                                -> sgx_mmu_notifier_release()
                                -> list_del_rcu()
-> kref_put()
-> sgx_encl_release()
-> cleanup_srcu_struct()
<- cleanup_srcu_struct()
                                -> synchronize_srcu()

This scenario would lead into use-after free in cleaup_srcu_struct().

Fix this by taking a reference to the enclave in
sgx_mmu_notifier_release().

v5:
- To make sure that the instance does not get deleted use kref_get()
  kref_put(). This also removes the need for additional
  synchronize_srcu().
v4:
- Rewrite the commit message.
- Just change the call order. *_expedited() is out of scope for this
  bug fix.
v3: Fine-tuned tags, and added missing change log for v2.
v2: Switch to synchronize_srcu_expedited().
