genirq/irqdesc: Prevent use-after-free in irq_find_at_or_after()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: genirq/irqdesc: Prevent use-after-free in irq_find_at_or_after() irq_find_at_or_after() dereferences the interrupt descriptor which is returned by mt_find() while neither holding sparse_irq_lock nor RCU read lock, which means the descriptor can be freed between mt_find() and the dereference: CPU0 CPU1 desc = mt_find() delayed_free_desc(desc) irq_desc_get_irq(desc) The use-after-free is reported by KASAN: Call trace: irq_get_next_irq+0x58/0x84 show_stat+0x638/0x824 seq_read_iter+0x158/0x4ec proc_reg_read_iter+0x94/0x12c vfs_read+0x1e0/0x2c8 Freed by task 4471: slab_free_freelist_hook+0x174/0x1e0 __kmem_cache_free+0xa4/0x1dc kfree+0x64/0x128 irq_kobj_release+0x28/0x3c kobject_put+0xcc/0x1e0 delayed_free_desc+0x14/0x2c rcu_do_batch+0x214/0x720 Guard the access with a RCU read lock section.
