f2fs: don't reset unchangable mount option in f2fs_remount()
syzbot reports a bug as below:

The root cause is race condition as below:
- since it tries to remount rw filesystem, so that do_remount won't
call sb_prepare_remount_readonly to block fallocate, there may be race
condition in between remount and fallocate.
- in f2fs_remount(), default_options() will reset mount option to default
one, and then update it based on result of parse_options(), so there is
a hole which race condition can happen.

In the cpu_map_update_elem flow, when kthread_stop is called before
calling the threadfn of rcpu->kthread, since the KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP bit
of kthread has been set by kthread_stop, the threadfn of rcpu->kthread
will never be executed, and rcpu->refcnt will never be 0, which will
lead to the allocated rcpu, rcpu->queue and rcpu->queue->queue cannot be
released.
Calling kthread_stop before executing kthread's threadfn will return
-EINTR. We can complete the release of memory resources in this state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/ASPM: Disable ASPM on MFD function removal to avoid use-after-free
Struct pcie_link_state->downstream is a pointer to the pci_dev of function
0. Previously we retained that pointer when removing function 0, and
subsequent ASPM policy changes dereferenced it, resulting in a
use-after-free warning from KASAN, e.g.:
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/remove
# echo powersave > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in pcie_config_aspm_link+0x42d/0x500
Call Trace:

pcie_aspm_set_policy+0x8e/0x1a0
param_attr_store+0x162/0x2c0
module_attr_store+0x3e/0x80
PCIe spec r6.0, sec 7.5.3.7, recommends that software program the same ASPM
Control value in all functions of multi-function devices.
Disable ASPM and free the pcie_link_state when any child function is
removed so we can discard the dangling pcie_link_state->downstream pointer
and maintain the same ASPM Control configuration for all functions.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firewire: net: fix use after free in fwnet_finish_incoming_packet()
The netif_rx() function frees the skb so we can't dereference it to
save the skb->len.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: snic: Fix possible memory leak if device_add() fails
If device_add() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() needs
be freed. As the comment of device_add() says, put_device() should be used
to give up the reference in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanp().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/MCE: Always save CS register on AMD Zen IF Poison errors
The Instruction Fetch (IF) units on current AMD Zen-based systems do not
guarantee a synchronous #MC is delivered for poison consumption errors.
Therefore, MCG_STATUS[EIPV|RIPV] will not be set. However, the
microarchitecture does guarantee that the exception is delivered within
the same context. In other words, the exact rIP is not known, but the
context is known to not have changed.
There is no architecturally-defined method to determine this behavior.
The Code Segment (CS) register is always valid on such IF unit poison
errors regardless of the value of MCG_STATUS[EIPV|RIPV].
Add a quirk to save the CS register for poison consumption from the IF
unit banks.
This is needed to properly determine the context of the error.
Otherwise, the severity grading function will assume the context is
IN_KERNEL due to the m->cs value being 0 (the initialized value). This
leads to unnecessary kernel panics on data poison errors due to the
kernel believing the poison consumption occurred in kernel context.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: mediatek: fix of_iomap memory leak
Smatch reports:
drivers/clk/mediatek/clk-mtk.c:583 mtk_clk_simple_probe() warn:
'base' from of_iomap() not released on lines: 496.
This problem was also found in linux-next. In mtk_clk_simple_probe(),
base is not released when handling errors
if clk_data is not existed, which may cause a leak.
So free_base should be added here to release base.

media: platform: mediatek: vpu: fix NULL ptr dereference
If pdev is NULL, then it is still dereferenced.
This fixes this smatch warning:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: Fix xsk_diag use-after-free error during socket cleanup
Fix a use-after-free error that is possible if the xsk_diag interface
is used after the socket has been unbound from the device. This can
happen either due to the socket being closed or the device
disappearing. In the early days of AF_XDP, the way we tested that a
socket was not bound to a device was to simply check if the netdevice
pointer in the xsk socket structure was NULL. Later, a better system
was introduced by having an explicit state variable in the xsk socket
struct. For example, the state of a socket that is on the way to being
closed and has been unbound from the device is XSK_UNBOUND.
The commit in the Fixes tag below deleted the old way of signalling
that a socket is unbound, setting dev to NULL. This in the belief that
all code using the old way had been exterminated. That was
unfortunately not true as the xsk diagnostics code was still using the
old way and thus does not work as intended when a socket is going
down. Fix this by introducing a test against the state variable. If
the socket is in the state XSK_UNBOUND, simply abort the diagnostic's
netlink operation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: don't check PageError in __extent_writepage
__extent_writepage currenly sets PageError whenever any error happens,
and the also checks for PageError to decide if to call error handling.
This leads to very unclear responsibility for cleaning up on errors.
In the VM and generic writeback helpers the basic idea is that once
I/O is fired off all error handling responsibility is delegated to the
end I/O handler. But if that end I/O handler sets the PageError bit,
and the submitter checks it, the bit could in some cases leak into the
submission context for fast enough I/O.
Fix this by simply not checking PageError and just using the local
ret variable to check for submission errors. This also fundamentally
solves the long problem documented in a comment in __extent_writepage
by never leaking the error bit into the submission context.
