Christian Brauner 56c3824de5 ntfs3: free replaced mount options after a grace period
ntfs_fs_reconfigure() replaces the old mount options with new mount
options in sbi->options. The old mount options land in fs_context and
are freed as soon as remount returns. With a pathwalk held up in
ntfs_nls_to_utf16() between loading sbi->options and dereferencing it
while a remount replaces them:

That info is needed in rcu lookup in the dentry hash and dentry compary
methods for ntfs3 and causes a UAF today. Delay freeing with an rcu
grace period.

ntfs_nls_to_utf16() reads ->nls and ->ads once under rcu_read_lock() so
the hooks pair with the release in ntfs_fs_reconfigure(). That also
covers callers outside of rcu pathwalk such as ntfs_lookup(). They don't
hold rcu_read_lock() themselves and wouldn't be protected by the grace
period otherwise. Remount refuses to change the iocharset so ->nls stays
valid after rcu_read_unlock().
