s390/guarded storage: fix possible memory corruption
commit
fa1edf3f63c05ca8eacafcd7048ed91e5360f1a8 upstream.
For PREEMPT enabled kernels the guarded storage (GS) code contains a
possible use-after-free bug. If a task that makes use of GS exits, it
will execute do_exit() while still enabled for preemption.
That function will call exit_thread_runtime_instr() via exit_thread().
If exit_thread_gs() gets preempted after the GS control block of the
task has been freed but before the pointer to it is set to NULL, then
save_gs_cb(), called from switch_to(), will write to already freed
memory.
Avoid this and simply disable preemption while freeing the control
block and setting the pointer to NULL.
