[PATCH 5.4.y] fs/proc: fix uaf in proc_readdir_de()

[albin_yang@163.com]

From: Wei Yang <albinwyang@tencent.com>

commit 895b4c0c79b092d732544011c3cecaf7322c36a1 upstream.

Pde is erased from subdir rbtree through rb_erase(), but not set the node
to EMPTY, which may result in uaf access.  We should use RB_CLEAR_NODE()
set the erased node to EMPTY, then pde_subdir_next() will return NULL to
avoid uaf access.

We found an uaf issue while using stress-ng testing, need to run testcase
getdent and tun in the same time.  The steps of the issue is as follows:

1) use getdent to traverse dir /proc/pid/net/dev_snmp6/, and current
   pde is tun3;

2) in the [time windows] unregister netdevice tun3 and tun2, and erase
   them from rbtree.  erase tun3 first, and then erase tun2.  the
   pde(tun2) will be released to slab;

3) continue to getdent process, then pde_subdir_next() will return
   pde(tun2) which is released, it will case uaf access.
