3.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Joe Thornber <thornber@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 10f1d5d111e8aed46a0f1179faf9a3cf422f689e upstream.
There's a race condition between the atomic_dec_and_test(&io->count)
in dec_count() and the waking of the sync_io() thread. If the thread
is spuriously woken immediately after the decrement it may exit,
making the on stack io struct invalid, yet the dec_count could still
be using it.
Fix this race by using a completion in sync_io() and dec_count().
