can: j1939: fix "struct j1939_ecu" refcount leak
This commit cancels ECU address-claim timers during j1939_ecu_unmap_all() and
blocks taking new ECU references or binding local ECUs once the netdev is no
longer registered or rx_kref reaches zero.

[Severity: Medium]
Can j1939_sk_bind() still race with NETDEV_UNREGISTER between
j1939_local_ecu_get() and j1939_jsk_add(), leaving the socket bound and
holding references to struct j1939_ecu, struct j1939_priv, and priv->ndev
after j1939_sk_netdev_event_unregister() has finished?
In j1939_sk_bind(), the socket is not on priv->j1939_socks (or has just been
removed by j1939_jsk_del() on re-bind) when j1939_local_ecu_get() runs, and
j1939_jsk_add() is only called after j1939_local_ecu_get() drops priv->lock:
net/can/j1939/socket.c:j1939_sk_bind() {
...
/* get new references */
ret = j1939_local_ecu_get(priv, jsk->addr.src_name, jsk->addr.sa);
if (ret) {
...
}
j1939_jsk_add(priv, jsk);
...
}
Because unregister_netdevice_many_notify() sets NETREG_UNREGISTERING without
holding priv->lock or the socket lock, the two paths can interleave:
CPU0 CPU1
j1939_sk_bind()
j1939_local_ecu_get()
write_lock_bh(&priv->lock)
reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERED
j1939_ecu_create_locked()
write_unlock_bh(&priv->lock)
unregister_netdevice_many_notify()
dev->reg_state = NETREG_UNREGISTERING
j1939_netdev_notify()
j1939_sk_netdev_event_unregister()
/* jsk not in priv->j1939_socks */
j1939_jsk_add(priv, jsk)
/* jsk left bound after unregister */
j1939_sk_netdev_event_unregister() misses jsk because it only scans
priv->j1939_socks, so jsk remains bound with its ECU, priv, and netdev
references held until the socket is closed, blocking unregister_netdevice().
