Herbert Xu 71203f68c7 padata: Fix pd UAF once and for all
There is a race condition/UAF in padata_reorder that goes back
to the initial commit.  A reference count is taken at the start
of the process in padata_do_parallel, and released at the end in
padata_serial_worker.

This reference count is (and only is) required for padata_replace
to function correctly.  If padata_replace is never called then
there is no issue.

In the function padata_reorder which serves as the core of padata,
as soon as padata is added to queue->serial.list, and the associated
spin lock released, that padata may be processed and the reference
count on pd would go away.

Fix this by getting the next padata before the squeue->serial lock
is released.

In order to make this possible, simplify padata_reorder by only
calling it once the next padata arrives.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
