btrfs: fix a NULL pointer dereference when failed to start a new trasacntion

[CAUSE]
The allocation failure happens at the start_transaction() inside
prepare_to_relocate(), and during the error handling we call
unset_reloc_control(), which makes fs_info->balance_ctl to be NULL.
Then we continue the error path cleanup in btrfs_balance() by calling
reset_balance_state() which will call del_balance_item() to fully delete
the balance item in the root tree.
However during the small window between set_reloc_contrl() and
unset_reloc_control(), we can have a subvolume tree update and created a
reloc_root for that subvolume.
Then we go into the final btrfs_commit_transaction() of
del_balance_item(), and into btrfs_update_reloc_root() inside
commit_fs_roots().
That function checks if fs_info->reloc_ctl is in the merge_reloc_tree
stage, but since fs_info->reloc_ctl is NULL, it results a NULL pointer
dereference.
[FIX]
Just add extra check on fs_info->reloc_ctl inside
btrfs_update_reloc_root(), before checking
fs_info->reloc_ctl->merge_reloc_tree.
That DEAD_RELOC_TREE handling is to prevent further modification to the
reloc tree during merge stage, but since there is no reloc_ctl at all,
we do not need to bother that.

Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. Nginx UI v2.0.0-beta.35 and earlier gets the value from the json field without verification, and can construct a value value in the form of `../../`. Arbitrary files can be written to the server, which may result in loss of permissions. Version 2.0.0-beta.26 fixes the issue.

Nginx UI is a web user interface for the Nginx web server. Prior to version 2.0.0-beta.36, when Nginx UI configures logrotate, it does not verify the input and directly passes it to exec.Command, causing arbitrary command execution. Version 2.0.0-beta.36 fixes this issue.

prepareUnique index may cause secondaries to crash due to incorrect enforcement of index constraints on secondaries, where in extreme cases may cause multiple secondaries crashing leading to no primaries. This issue affects MongoDB Server v6.0 versions prior to 6.0.17, MongoDB Server v7.0 versions prior to 7.0.13 and MongoDB Server v7.3 versions prior to 7.3.4

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block, bfq: fix uaf for accessing waker_bfqq after splitting
After commit 42c306ed7233 ("block, bfq: don't break merge chain in
bfq_split_bfqq()"), if the current procress is the last holder of bfqq,
the bfqq can be freed after bfq_split_bfqq(). Hence recored the bfqq and
then access bfqq->waker_bfqq may trigger UAF. What's more, the waker_bfqq
may in the merge chain of bfqq, hence just recored waker_bfqq is still
not safe.
Fix the problem by adding a helper bfq_waker_bfqq() to check if
bfqq->waker_bfqq is in the merge chain, and current procress is the only
holder.
