Subject: ftrace: Fix function pid filter on instances

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

commit d879d0b8c183aabeb9a65eba91f3f9e3c7e7b905 upstream.

When function tracer has a pid filter, it adds a probe to sched_switch
to track if current task can be ignored.  The probe checks the
ftrace_ignore_pid from current tr to filter tasks.  But it misses to
delete the probe when removing an instance so that it can cause a crash
due to the invalid tr pointer (use-after-free).

This is easily reproducible with the following:

  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # mkdir instances/buggy
  # echo $$ > instances/buggy/set_ftrace_pid
  # rmdir instances/buggy

  ============================================================================
  BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ftrace_filter_pid_sched_switch_probe+0x3d/0x90
  Read of size 8 by task kworker/0:1/17
  CPU: 0 PID: 17 Comm: kworker/0:1 Tainted: G    B           4.11.0-rc3  #198
  Call Trace:
   dump_stack+0x68/0x9f

   ? fpid_start+0x130/0x130
   __schedule+0x571/0xce0
   ...

To fix it, use ftrace_clear_pids() to unregister the probe.  As
instance_rmdir() already updated ftrace codes, it can just free the
filter safely.
