KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: fix use-after-free in kvmhv_emulate_tlbie_all_lpid()
kvmhv_emulate_tlbie_all_lpid() iterates the nested-guest IDR and drops
mmu_lock before calling kvmhv_emulate_tlbie_lpid(), but does not hold a
reference on the kvm_nested_guest pointer obtained from the IDR. A
concurrent vCPU issuing a single-LPID tlbie (is=2, ric=2) can race
through kvmhv_flush_nested() -> kvmhv_remove_nested() -> idr_remove /
--refcnt -> kvmhv_release_nested() -> kfree(gp) in that window, leaving
the iterating vCPU with a dangling pointer. The subsequent
mutex_lock(&gp->tlb_lock) and accesses to gp->shadow_pgtable,
gp->shadow_lpid and gp->l1_host all touch freed memory. The free path
is fully L1-controlled.
Fix this by incrementing gp->refcnt inside the loop before dropping
mmu_lock, mirroring what kvmhv_get_nested() does, and releasing the
reference with kvmhv_put_nested() after the per-guest work completes.
This is the same get/put discipline already used at every other
call site that drops mmu_lock while holding a nested-guest pointer.
