Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/psi: fix use-after-free in ep_remove_wait_queue()

If a non-root cgroup gets removed when there is a thread that registered
trigger and is polling on a pressure file within the cgroup, the polling
waitqueue gets freed without clearing the queue and reference in the
following path.

 do_rmdir
   cgroup_rmdir
     kernfs_drain_open_files
       cgroup_file_release
         cgroup_pressure_release
           psi_trigger_destroy

However, the polling thread can keep having the last reference to the
pressure file that is tied to the freed waitqueue until explicit close or
exit later.

 fput
   ep_eventpoll_release
     ep_free
       ep_remove_wait_queue
         remove_wait_queue

Then, the thread accesses to the already-freed waitqueue when dropping the
reference and results in use-after-free as pasted below.

The fundamental problem here is that the lifetime of the waitqueue is not
tied to the file's real lifetime as shown above. Using wake_up_pollfree()
here might be less than ideal, but it also is not fully contradicting the
comment at commit 42288cb44c4b ("wait: add wake_up_pollfree()") since the
waitqueue's lifetime is not tied to file's one and can be considered as
another special case. While this would be fixable by somehow making
cgroup_file_release() be tied to the fput(), it would require sizable
refactoring at cgroups or higher layer which might be more justifiable if
we identify more cases like this.
