Subject: [PATCH 5.10 439/663] Take mmap lock in cacheflush syscall

From: Jann Horn <jannh@...gle.com>

[ Upstream commit c26958cb5a0d9053d1358258827638773f3d36ed ]

We need to take the mmap lock around find_vma() and subsequent use of the
VMA. Otherwise, we can race with concurrent operations like munmap(), which
can lead to use-after-free accesses to freed VMAs.

Fixes: 1000197d8013 ("nios2: System calls handling")
