[PATCH] async: avoid use-after-free on re-entrancy guard

[PATCH] async: avoid use-after-free on re-entrancy guard

[Alexander Bulekov]

A BH callback can free the BH, causing a use-after-free in aio_bh_call.
Fix that by keeping a local copy of the re-entrancy guard pointer.

Buglink: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=58513
Fixes: 9c86c97f12 ("async: Add an optional reentrancy guard to the BH API")

I'll assemble a pull request with this later today, to avoid that people run
