[Lucid][CVE-2013-4483] ipc/msg: fix race around refcount

[Luis Henriques]

From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <k.khlebnikov at samsung.com>

In older kernels (before v3.10) ipc_rcu_hdr->refcount was non-atomic int.
There was possuble double-free bug: do_msgsnd() calls ipc_rcu_putref() under
msq->q_perm->lock and RCU, while freequeue() calls it while it holds only
'rw_mutex', so there is no sinchronization between them. Two function
decrements '2' non-atomically, they both can get '0' as result.

do_msgsnd()					freequeue()

msq = msg_lock_check(ns, msqid);
...
ipc_rcu_getref(msq);
msg_unlock(msq);
schedule();
						(caller locks spinlock)
						expunge_all(msq, -EIDRM);
						ss_wakeup(&msq->q_senders, 1);
						msg_rmid(ns, msq);
						msg_unlock(msq);
ipc_lock_by_ptr(&msq->q_perm);
ipc_rcu_putref(msq);				ipc_rcu_putref(msq);
< both may get get --(...)->refcount == 0 >

This patch locks ipc_lock and RCU around ipc_rcu_putref in freequeue.
( RCU protects memory for spin_unlock() )

Similar bugs might be in other users of ipc_rcu_putref().

In the mainline this has been fixed in v3.10 indirectly in commmit
6062a8dc0517bce23e3c2f7d2fea5e22411269a3
("ipc,sem: fine grained locking for semtimedop") by Rik van Riel.
That commit optimized locking and converted refcount into atomic.

I'm not sure that anybody should care about this bug: it's very-very unlikely
and no longer exists in actual mainline. I've found this just by looking into
the code, probably this never happens in real life.
