ovl: fix use after free in struct ovl_aio_req
commit 9a254403760041528bc8f69fe2f5e1ef86950991 upstream.
Example for triggering use after free in a overlay on ext4 setup:
aio_read
ovl_read_iter
vfs_iter_read
ext4_file_read_iter
ext4_dio_read_iter
iomap_dio_rw -> -EIOCBQUEUED
/*
* Here IO is completed in a separate thread,
* ovl_aio_cleanup_handler() frees aio_req which has iocb embedded
*/
file_accessed(iocb->ki_filp); /**BOOM**/
Fix by introducing a refcount in ovl_aio_req similarly to aio_kiocb. This
guarantees that iocb is only freed after vfs_read/write_iter() returns on
underlying fs.
