Tejun Heo 8e00c4e9dd writeback: fix use-after-free in finish_writeback_work()
finish_writeback_work() reads @done->waitq after decrementing
@done->cnt.  However, once @done->cnt reaches zero, @done may be freed
(from stack) at any moment and @done->waitq can contain something
unrelated by the time finish_writeback_work() tries to read it.  This
led to the following crash.

  "BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000002"

Fix it by reading and caching @done->waitq before decrementing
@done->cnt.

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 Restructured Text 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.
