[PATCH v2] proc: Fix a dentry lock race between release_task and lookup

[Zhihao Cheng <chengzhihao1@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Commit 7bc3e6e55acf06 ("proc: Use a list of inodes to flush from proc")
moved proc_flush_task() behind __exit_signal(). Then, process systemd
can take long period high cpu usage during releasing task in following
concurrent processes:

  systemd                                 ps
kernel_waitid                 stat(/proc/tgid)
  do_wait                       filename_lookup
    wait_consider_task            lookup_fast
      release_task
        __exit_signal
          __unhash_process
            detach_pid
              __change_pid // remove task->pid_links
                                     d_revalidate -> pid_revalidate  // 0
                                     d_invalidate(/proc/tgid)
                                       shrink_dcache_parent(/proc/tgid)
                                         d_walk(/proc/tgid)
                                           spin_lock_nested(/proc/tgid/fd)
                                           // iterating opened fd
        proc_flush_pid                                    |
           d_invalidate (/proc/tgid/fd)                   |
              shrink_dcache_parent(/proc/tgid/fd)         |
                shrink_dentry_list(subdirs)               ↓
                  shrink_lock_dentry(/proc/tgid/fd) --> race on dentry lock

Function d_invalidate() will remove dentry from hash firstly, but why does
proc_flush_pid() process dentry '/proc/tgid/fd' before dentry '/proc/tgid'?
That's because proc_pid_make_inode() adds proc inode in reverse order by
invoking hlist_add_head_rcu(). But proc should not add any inodes under
'/proc/tgid' except '/proc/tgid/task/pid', fix it by adding inode into
'pid->inodes' only if the inode is /proc/tgid or /proc/tgid/task/pid.
