Subject: [PATCH 5.15 54/58] xen/9p: use alloc/free_pages_exact()

From: Juergen Gross <jgross@...e.com>

Commit 5cadd4bb1d7fc9ab201ac14620d1a478357e4ebd upstream.

Instead of __get_free_pages() and free_pages() use alloc_pages_exact()
and free_pages_exact(). This is in preparation of a change of
gnttab_end_foreign_access() which will prohibit use of high-order
pages.

By using the local variable "order" instead of ring->intf->ring_order
in the error path of xen_9pfs_front_alloc_dataring() another bug is
fixed, as the error path can be entered before ring->intf->ring_order
is being set.

By using alloc_pages_exact() the size in bytes is specified for the
allocation, which fixes another bug for the case of
order < (PAGE_SHIFT - XEN_PAGE_SHIFT).

This is part of CVE-2022-23041 / XSA-396.
