pidfd: fix a poll race when setting exit_state
There is a race between reading task->exit_state in pidfd_poll and
writing it after do_notify_parent calls do_notify_pidfd. Expected
sequence of events is:
CPU 0 CPU 1
------------------------------------------------
exit_notify
do_notify_parent
do_notify_pidfd
tsk->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD
pidfd_poll
if (tsk->exit_state)
However nothing prevents the following sequence:
CPU 0 CPU 1
------------------------------------------------
exit_notify
do_notify_parent
do_notify_pidfd
pidfd_poll
if (tsk->exit_state)
tsk->exit_state = EXIT_DEAD
This causes a polling task to wait forever, since poll blocks because
exit_state is 0 and the waiting task is not notified again. A stress
test continuously doing pidfd poll and process exits uncovered this bug.
To fix it, we make sure that the task's exit_state is always set before
calling do_notify_pidfd.
