Subject: [PATCH] jfs: Extend the done of the window period

In lbmRead(), the I/O event waited for by wait_event() finishes before
it goes to sleep, and the lbmIODone() prematurely sets the flag to
lbmDONE, thus ending the wait. This causes wait_event() to return before
lbmREAD is cleared (because lbmDONE was set first), the premature return
of wait_event() leads to the release of lbuf before lbmIODone() returns,
thus triggering the use-after-free vulnerability reported in [1].

Moving the operation of setting the lbmDONE flag to after clearing lbmREAD
in lbmIODone() avoids the use-after-free vulnerability reported in [1].
