Subject: [PATCH 4.14 34/79] Bluetooth: cmtp: fix file refcount when cmtp_attach_device fails

From: Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo <cascardo@...onical.com>

commit 8da3a0b87f4f1c3a3bbc4bfb78cf68476e97d183 upstream.

When cmtp_attach_device fails, cmtp_add_connection returns the error value
which leads to the caller to doing fput through sockfd_put. But
cmtp_session kthread, which is stopped in this path will also call fput,
leading to a potential refcount underflow or a use-after-free.

Add a refcount before we signal the kthread to stop. The kthread will try
to grab the cmtp_session_sem mutex before doing the fput, which is held
when get_file is called, so there should be no races there.
