commit 074fadee59ee7a9d2b216e9854bd4efb5dad679f upstream.
There is a race condition in the following scenario which results in an
use-after-free issue when reading a monitoring file and deleting the
parent ctrl_mon group concurrently:
Thread 1 calls atomic_inc() to take refcount of rdtgrp and then calls
kernfs_break_active_protection() to drop the active reference of kernfs
node in rdtgroup_kn_lock_live().
In Thread 2, kernfs_remove() is a blocking routine. It waits on all sub
kernfs nodes to drop the active reference when removing all subtree
kernfs nodes recursively. Thread 2 could block on kernfs_remove() until
Thread 1 calls kernfs_break_active_protection(). Only after
kernfs_remove() completes the refcount of rdtgrp could be trusted.
Before Thread 1 calls atomic_inc() and kernfs_break_active_protection(),
Thread 2 could call kfree() when the refcount of rdtgrp (sentry) is 0
instead of 1 due to the race.
In Thread 1, in rdtgroup_kn_unlock(), referring to earlier rdtgrp memory
(rdtgrp->waitcount) which was already freed in Thread 2 results in
use-after-free issue.

Fix it by moving free_all_child_rdtgrp() to after kernfs_remove() in
rdtgroup_rmdir_ctrl() to ensure it has the accurate refcount of rdtgrp.
Backporting notes:
Since upstream commit fa7d949337cc ("x86/resctrl: Rename and move rdt
files to a separate directory"), the file
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c has been renamed and moved to
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/resctrl/rdtgroup.c.
Apply the change against file arch/x86/kernel/cpu/intel_rdt_rdtgroup.c
for older stable trees.
Upstream commit 17eafd076291 ("x86/intel_rdt: Split resource group
removal in two") moved part of resource group removal code from
rdtgroup_rmdir_mon() into a separate function rdtgroup_ctrl_remove().
Apply the change against original code base of rdtgroup_rmdir_mon() for
older stable trees.
