4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 073c516ff73557a8f7315066856c04b50383ac34 upstream.
Andrey reported a use-after-free in __ns_get_path():
spin_lock include/linux/spinlock.h:299 [inline]
lockref_get_not_dead+0x19/0x80 lib/lockref.c:179
__ns_get_path+0x197/0x860 fs/nsfs.c:66
open_related_ns+0xda/0x200 fs/nsfs.c:143
sock_ioctl+0x39d/0x440 net/socket.c:1001
vfs_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:45 [inline]
do_vfs_ioctl+0x1bf/0x1780 fs/ioctl.c:685
SYSC_ioctl fs/ioctl.c:700 [inline]
SyS_ioctl+0x8f/0xc0 fs/ioctl.c:691
We are under rcu read lock protection at that point:
rcu_read_lock();
d = atomic_long_read(&ns->stashed);
if (!d)
goto slow;
dentry = (struct dentry *)d;
if (!lockref_get_not_dead(&dentry->d_lockref))
goto slow;
rcu_read_unlock();
but don't use a proper RCU API on the free path, therefore a parallel
__d_free() could free it at the same time. We need to mark the stashed
dentry with DCACHE_RCUACCESS so that __d_free() will be called after all
readers leave RCU.
