[Alternative][PATCH v1 2/3] thermal/debugfs: Fix two locking issues with thermal zone debug

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

With the current thermal zone locking arrangement in the debugfs code,
user space can open the "mitigations" file for a thermal zone before
the zone's debugfs pointer is set which will result in a NULL pointer
dereference in tze_seq_start().

Moreover, thermal_debug_tz_remove() is not called under the thermal
zone lock, so can run in parallel with the other functions accessing
the thermal zone's struct thermal_debugfs object. Then, it may clear
tz->debugfs after one of those functions has checked it and the
struct thermal_debugfs object may be freed prematurely.

To address the first problem, pass a pointer to the thermal zone's
struct thermal_debugfs object to debugfs_create_file() in
thermal_debug_tz_add() and make tze_seq_start(), tze_seq_next(),
tze_seq_stop(), and tze_seq_show() retrieve it from s->private
instead of a pointer to the thermal zone object. This will ensure
that tz_debugfs will be valid across the "mitigations" file accesses
until thermal_debugfs_remove_id() called by thermal_debug_tz_remove()
removes that file.

To address the second problem, use tz->lock in thermal_debug_tz_remove()
around the tz->debugfs value check (in case the same thermal zone is
removed at the same time in two differet threads) and its reset to NULL.

This is an alternative fix for the issues addressed by

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pm/1888579.tdWV9SEqCh@kreacher/

and I slightly prefer it, because it is less intrusive and makes
the thermal zone debug code more consistent with the analogous code
for cdevs.

Accordingly, I've replace the above with this patch in the
thermal-core-next branch in linux-pm.git.
