In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

md: fix mddev uaf while iterating all_mddevs list

While iterating all_mddevs list from md_notify_reboot() and md_exit(),
list_for_each_entry_safe is used, and this can race with deletint the
next mddev, causing UAF:

t1:
spin_lock
//list_for_each_entry_safe(mddev, n, ...)
 mddev_get(mddev1)
 // assume mddev2 is the next entry
 spin_unlock
            t2:
            //remove mddev2
            ...
            mddev_free
            spin_lock
            list_del
            spin_unlock
            kfree(mddev2)
 mddev_put(mddev1)
 spin_lock
 //continue dereference mddev2->all_mddevs

The old helper for_each_mddev() actually grab the reference of mddev2
while holding the lock, to prevent from being freed. This problem can be
fixed the same way, however, the code will be complex.

Hence switch to use list_for_each_entry, in this case mddev_put() can free
the mddev1 and it's not safe as well. Refer to md_seq_show(), also factor
out a helper mddev_put_locked() to fix this problem.
