Stefano Stabellini a5d00dff97 9p/xen: protect xen_9pfs_front_free against concurrent calls 
[ Upstream commit ce8ded2e61 ]

The xenwatch thread can race with other back-end change notifications
and call xen_9pfs_front_free() twice, hitting the observed general
protection fault due to a double-free. Guard the teardown path so only
one caller can release the front-end state at a time, preventing the
crash.

This is a fix for the following double-free:

README 

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.
