Liu Song d9af3cf58b PCI: endpoint: Avoid creating sub-groups asynchronously 
commit 7c5c7d06bd upstream.

The asynchronous creation of sub-groups by a delayed work could lead to a
NULL pointer dereference when the driver directory is removed before the
work completes.

The crash can be easily reproduced with the following commands:

  # cd /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/functions/pci_epf_test
  # for i in {1..20}; do mkdir test && rmdir test; done

  BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000088
  ...
  Call Trace:
   configfs_register_group+0x3d/0x190
   pci_epf_cfs_work+0x41/0x110
   process_one_work+0x18f/0x350
   worker_thread+0x25a/0x3a0

Fix this issue by using configfs_add_default_group() API which does not
have the deadlock problem as configfs_register_group() and does not require
the delayed work handler.

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.
