Subject: [PATCH for 6.8] tomoyo: fix UAF write bug in tomoyo_write_control()

Since tomoyo_write_control() updates head->write_buf when write() of long
lines is requested, we need to fetch head->write_buf after head->io_sem is
held. Otherwise, concurrent write() requests can cause use-after-free-write
and double-free problems.

Reported-by: Sam Sun <samsun1006219@...il.com>
Closes: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/CAEkJfYNDspuGxYx5kym8Lvp--D36CMDUErg4rxfWFJuPbbji8g@mail.gmail.com
Fixes: bd03a3e4c9a9 ("TOMOYO: Add policy namespace support.")
Cc: stable@...r.kernel.org # Linux 3.1+

I couldn't reproduce this problem in my environment, but I believe
this does fix a bug. Linus, can you directly apply to linux.git ?
If Linus wants a GIT PULL request, can Paul send this patch via LSM tree
because TOMOYO's git tree is not working?
