Subject: [PATCH v8] x86/sgx: Maintain encl->refcount for each encl->mm_list entry

This has been shown in tests:

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

This is essentially a use-after free, although SRCU notices it as
an SRCU cleanup in an invalid context.

== Background ==

SGX has a data structure (struct sgx_encl_mm) which keeps per-mm SGX
metadata.  This is separate from 'struct sgx_encl' because, in theory,
an enclave can be mapped from more than one mm.  sgx_encl_mm includes
a pointer back to the sgx_encl.

This means that sgx_encl must have a longer lifetime than all of the
sgx_encl_mm's that point to it.  That's usually the case: sgx_encl_mm
is freed only after the mmu_notifier is unregistered in sgx_release().

However, there's a race.  If the process is exiting,
sgx_mmu_notifier_release() can be called in parallel with sgx_release()
instead of being called *by* it.  The mmu_notifier path keeps encl_mm
alive past when sgx_encl can be freed.  This inverts the lifetime rules
and means that sgx_mmu_notifier_release() can access a freed sgx_encl.

== Fix ==

Increase encl->refcount when encl_mm->encl is established. Release
this reference encl_mm is freed.  This ensures that 'encl' outlives
'encl_mm'.

v8:
- Slight adjustments on call sites suggested by Dave, to make things
  more clear and obvious. Otherwise, semantically same as v7:
  https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sgx/b874673d-9d58-0d6f-ce2d-ef4d33ac5115@intel.com/
  Contains also long description written by Dave.
v7:
- No changes from v6. Resend of
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/intel-sgx/patch/20210204143845.39697-1-jarkko@kernel.org/
v6:
- Maintain refcount for each encl->mm_list entry.
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().
