ext4: fix race condition between ext4_write and ext4_convert_inline_data

BUG_ON(ref_cnt == 0) ---> BUG_ON
The lock held by ext4_convert_inline_data is xattr_sem, but the lock
held by generic_perform_write is i_rwsem. Therefore, the two locks can
be concurrent.
To solve above issue, we add inode_lock() for ext4_convert_inline_data().
At the same time, move ext4_convert_inline_data() in front of
ext4_punch_hole(), remove similar handling from ext4_punch_hole().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: goldfish: Use tty_port_destroy() to destroy port
In goldfish_tty_probe(), the port initialized through tty_port_init()
should be destroyed in error paths.In goldfish_tty_remove(), qtty->port
also should be destroyed or else might leak resources.
Fix the above by calling tty_port_destroy().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver: base: fix UAF when driver_attach failed
When driver_attach(drv); failed, the driver_private will be freed.
But it has been added to the bus, which caused a UAF.
To fix it, we need to delete it from the bus when failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to avoid f2fs_bug_on() in dec_valid_node_count()
As Yanming reported in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215897
I have encountered a bug in F2FS file system in kernel v5.17.
The kernel should enable CONFIG_KASAN=y and CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y. You can
reproduce the bug by running the following commands:
The kernel message is shown below:
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:2511!
Call Trace:

__x64_sys_unlinkat+0x8e/0xd0
do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae
The root cause is: .total_valid_block_count or .total_valid_node_count
could fuzzed to zero, then once dec_valid_node_count() was called, it
will cause BUG_ON(), this patch fixes to print warning info and set
SBI_NEED_FSCK into CP instead of panic.

f2fs: fix to clear dirty inode in f2fs_evict_inode()
As Yanming reported in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215904
The kernel message is shown below:
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/inode.c:825!
Call Trace:

syscall_exit_to_user_mode+0x1d/0x40
do_syscall_64+0x48/0x90
The root cause is: inode node and dnode node share the same nid,
so during f2fs_evict_inode(), dnode node truncation will invalidate
its NAT entry, so when truncating inode node, it fails due to
invalid NAT entry, result in inode is still marked as dirty, fix
this issue by clearing dirty for inode and setting SBI_NEED_FSCK
flag in filesystem.
output from dump.f2fs:
[print_node_info: 354] Node ID [0xf:15] is inode
i_nid[0] [0x f : 15]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: dmi-sysfs: Fix memory leak in dmi_sysfs_register_handle
kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add()
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.
Fix this issue by calling kobject_put().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context
Laurent reported the enclosed report [1]
This bug triggers with following coditions:
0) Kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y
1) A new passive FastOpen TCP socket is created.
This FO socket waits for an ACK coming from client to be a complete
ESTABLISHED one.
2) A socket operation on this socket goes through lock_sock()
release_sock() dance.
3) While the socket is owned by the user in step 2),
a retransmit of the SYN is received and stored in socket backlog.
4) At release_sock() time, the socket backlog is processed while
in process context.
5) A SYNACK packet is cooked in response of the SYN retransmit.
6) -> tcp_rtx_synack() is called in process context.
Before blamed commit, tcp_rtx_synack() was always called from BH handler,
from a timer handler.
Fix this by using TCP_INC_STATS() & NET_INC_STATS()
which do not assume caller is in non preemptible context.
