[PATCH 6.1.y 2/4] mm/kmemleak: simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() usage

[Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>]

From: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 6061e740822530a4ef443548b19c4e0bc6342c7a ]

Patch series "mm/kmemleak: Simplify kmemleak_cond_resched() & fix UAF", v2.

It was found that a KASAN use-after-free error was reported in the
kmemleak_scan() function.  After further examination, it is believe that
even though a reference is taken from the current object, it does not
prevent the object pointed to by the next pointer from going away after a
cond_resched().

To fix that, additional flags are added to make sure that the current
object won't be removed from the object_list during the duration of the
cond_resched() to ensure the validity of the next pointer.

While making the change, I also simplify the current usage of
kmemleak_cond_resched() to make it easier to understand.

This patch (of 2):

The presence of a pinned argument and the 64k loop count make
kmemleak_cond_resched() a bit more complex to read.  The pinned argument
is used only by first kmemleak_scan() loop.

Simplify the usage of kmemleak_cond_resched() by removing the pinned
argument and always do a get_object()/put_object() sequence.  In addition,
the 64k loop is removed by using need_resched() to decide if
kmemleak_cond_resched() should be called.
