[PATCH 2/2] mailbox: mailbox-test: Fix potential double-free in mbox_test_message_write()

[Lee Jones <lee@kernel.org>]

If a user can make copy_from_user() fail, there is a potential for
UAF/DF due to a lack of locking around the allocation, use and freeing
of the data buffers.

This issue is not theoretical.  I managed to author a POC for it:
