Subject: fuse: do not use iocb after it may have been freed

From: Robert Doebbelin <robert@quobyte.com>

commit 7cabc61e01a0a8b663bd2b4c982aa53048218734 upstream.

There's a race in fuse_direct_IO(), whereby is_sync_kiocb() is called on an
iocb that could have been freed if async io has already completed.  The fix
in this case is simple and obvious: cache the result before starting io.

It was discovered by KASan:
