accel/habanalabs: fix mem leak in capture user mappings
This commit fixes a memory leak caused when clearing the user_mappings
info when a new context is opened immediately after user_mapping is
captured and a hard reset is performed.

USB: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at
once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/habanalabs: postpone mem_mgr IDR destruction to hpriv_release()
The memory manager IDR is currently destroyed when user releases the
file descriptor.
However, at this point the user context might be still held, and memory
buffers might be still in use.
Later on, calls to release those buffers will fail due to not finding
their handles in the IDR, leading to a memory leak.
To avoid this leak, split the IDR destruction from the memory manager
fini, and postpone it to hpriv_release() when there is no user context
and no buffers are used.

staging: pi433: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once. This requires saving off the root directory dentry to make
creation of individual device subdirectories easier.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Handle pairing of E-switch via uplink un/load APIs
In case user switch a device from switchdev mode to legacy mode, mlx5
first unpair the E-switch and afterwards unload the uplink vport.
From the other hand, in case user remove or reload a device, mlx5
first unload the uplink vport and afterwards unpair the E-switch.
The latter is causing a bug[1], hence, handle pairing of E-switch as
part of uplink un/load APIs.
[1]
In case VF_LAG is used, every tc fdb flow is duplicated to the peer
esw. However, the original esw keeps a pointer to this duplicated
flow, not the peer esw.
e.g.: if user create tc fdb flow over esw0, the flow is duplicated
over esw1, in FW/HW, but in SW, esw0 keeps a pointer to the duplicated
flow.
During module unload while a peer tc fdb flow is still offloaded, in
case the first device to be removed is the peer device (esw1 in the
example above), the peer net-dev is destroyed, and so the mlx5e_priv
is memset to 0.
Afterwards, the peer device is trying to unpair himself from the
original device (esw0 in the example above). Unpair API invoke the
original device to clear peer flow from its eswitch (esw0), but the
peer flow, which is stored over the original eswitch (esw0), is
trying to use the peer mlx5e_priv, which is memset to 0 and result in
bellow kernel-oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix deadlock when aborting transaction during relocation with scrub
Before relocating a block group we pause scrub, then do the relocation and
then unpause scrub. The relocation process requires starting and committing
a transaction, and if we have a failure in the critical section of the
transaction commit path (transaction state >= TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START),
we will deadlock if there is a paused scrub.
That results in stack traces like the following:
[42.479] BTRFS info (device sdc): relocating block group 53876686848 flags metadata|raid6

This patch fixes a race between queue_work() in

garbage which is signaled by the following warning:

I reproduced this warning with dlm_locktorture test which is currently
not upstream. However this patch fix the issue by make a additional
refcount between dlm_lowcomms_new_msg() and dlm_lowcomms_commit_msg().
In case of the race the kref_put() in dlm_lowcomms_commit_msg() will be
the final put.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cxgb4: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in pass_establish()
If get_ep_from_tid() fails to lookup non-NULL value for ep, ep is
dereferenced later regardless of whether it is empty.
This patch adds a simple sanity check to fix the issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
genirq/ipi: Fix NULL pointer deref in irq_data_get_affinity_mask()
If ipi_send_{mask|single}() is called with an invalid interrupt number, all
the local variables there will be NULL. ipi_send_verify() which is invoked
from these functions does verify its 'data' parameter, resulting in a
kernel oops in irq_data_get_affinity_mask() as the passed NULL pointer gets
dereferenced.
Add a missing NULL pointer check in ipi_send_verify()...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static
analysis tool.
