fs/netfs/fscache_cookie: add missing "n_accesses" check
This fixes a NULL pointer dereference bug due to a data race which
looks like this:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000008

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
This happened because fscache_cookie_state_machine() was slow and was
still running while another process invoked fscache_unuse_cookie();
this led to a fscache_cookie_lru_do_one() call, setting the
FSCACHE_COOKIE_DO_LRU_DISCARD flag, which was picked up by
fscache_cookie_state_machine(), withdrawing the cookie via
cachefiles_withdraw_cookie(), clearing cookie->cache_priv.
At the same time, yet another process invoked
cachefiles_prepare_write(), which found a NULL pointer in this code
line:
struct cachefiles_object *object = cachefiles_cres_object(cres);
The next line crashes, obviously:
struct cachefiles_cache *cache = object->volume->cache;
During cachefiles_prepare_write(), the "n_accesses" counter is
non-zero (via fscache_begin_operation()). The cookie must not be
withdrawn until it drops to zero.
The counter is checked by fscache_cookie_state_machine() before
switching to FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_RELINQUISHING and
FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_WITHDRAWING (in "case
FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_FAILED"), but not for
FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_LRU_DISCARDING ("case
FSCACHE_COOKIE_STATE_ACTIVE").
This patch adds the missing check. With a non-zero access counter,
the function returns and the next fscache_end_cookie_access() call
will queue another fscache_cookie_state_machine() call to handle the
still-pending FSCACHE_COOKIE_DO_LRU_DISCARD.
