erofs: fix UAF issue for file-backed mounts w/ directio option

EROFS may encounter above panic when enabling file-backed mount w/ directio mount option, the root cause is it may suffer UAF in below race condition:

  • z_erofs_read_folio wq s_dio_done_wq
  • z_erofs_runqueue
  • erofs_fileio_submit_bio
  • erofs_fileio_rq_submit
  • vfs_iocb_iter_read
  • ext4_file_read_iter
  • ext4_dio_read_iter
  • iomap_dio_rw
: bio was submitted and return -EIOCBQUEUED
  • dio_aio_complete_work
  • dio_complete
  • dio->iocb->ki_complete (erofs_fileio_ki_complete())
  • kfree(rq)
: it frees iocb, iocb.ki_filp can be UAF in file_accessed().
  • file_accessed
: access NULL file point

Introduce a reference count in struct erofs_fileio_rq, and initialize it as two, both erofs_fileio_ki_complete() and erofs_fileio_rq_submit() will decrease reference count, the last one decreasing the reference count to zero will free rq.
