Subject: [PATCH] scsi: libsas: fix use-after-free bug in smp_execute_task_sg

When executing SMP task failed, the smp_execute_task_sg()
calls del_timer() to delete the "slow_task->timer". However,
if the timer handler sas_task_internal_timedout() is running,
the del_timer() in smp_execute_task_sg() will not stop it
and the UAF bug will happen. The process is shown below:

      (thread 1)               |        (thread 2)
smp_execute_task_sg()          | sas_task_internal_timedout()
 ...                           |
 del_timer()                   |
 ...                           |  ...
 sas_free_task(task)           |
  kfree(task->slow_task) //FREE|
                               |  task->slow_task->... //USE

Fix by calling del_timer_sync() in smp_execute_task_sg(),
which makes sure the timer handler have finished before
the "task->slow_task" is deallocated.
