Subject: [PATCH 5.12 277/363] KVM: x86: Cancel pvclock_gtod_work on module removal

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 594b27e677b35f9734b1969d175ebc6146741109 ]

Nothing prevents the following:

  pvclock_gtod_notify()
    queue_work(system_long_wq, &pvclock_gtod_work);
  ...
  remove_module(kvm);
  ...
  work_queue_run()
    pvclock_gtod_work()	<- UAF

Ditto for any other operation on that workqueue list head which touches
pvclock_gtod_work after module removal.

Cancel the work in kvm_arch_exit() to prevent that.
