[PATCH] tracing/user_events: Use kfree_rcu for enabler cleanup

[Tristan Madani <tristmd@gmail.com>]

From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>

user_event_enabler_destroy() removes the enabler from an RCU-protected
list via list_del_rcu() and then immediately frees it with kfree(). This
can result in a concurrent reader in user_event_enabler_dup() accessing
stale memory during fork, since the enabler list is traversed under
rcu_read_lock().

The ENABLE_VAL_FREEING_BIT check in user_event_enabler_dup() is not
sufficient to prevent this, as the enabler can be freed between the bit
test and the subsequent pointer dereference.

Use kfree_rcu() to defer the free until after all RCU read-side critical
sections complete.
