iio: cros_ec: fix an use-after-free in cros_ec_sensors_push_data()
[ Upstream commit 7771c8c80d62ad065637ef74ed2962983f6c5f6d ]
cros_ec_sensors_push_data() reads `indio_dev->active_scan_mask` and
calls iio_push_to_buffers_with_timestamp() without making sure the
`indio_dev` stays in buffer mode. There is a race if `indio_dev` exits
buffer mode right before cros_ec_sensors_push_data() accesses them.
An use-after-free on `indio_dev->active_scan_mask` was observed. The
call trace:
[...]
_find_next_bit
cros_ec_sensors_push_data
cros_ec_sensorhub_event
blocking_notifier_call_chain
cros_ec_irq_thread
It was caused by a race condition: one thread just freed
`active_scan_mask` at [1]; while another thread tried to access the
memory at [2].
Fix it by calling iio_device_claim_buffer_mode() to ensure the
`indio_dev` can't exit buffer mode during cros_ec_sensors_push_data().
