psi: Fix race between psi_trigger_create/destroy
Race detected between psi_trigger_destroy/create as shown below, which cause panic by accessing invalid psi_system->poll_wait->wait_queue_entry and psi_system->poll_timer->entry->next. Under this modification, the race window is removed by initialising poll_wait and poll_timer in group_init which are executed only once at beginning. psi_trigger_destroy() psi_trigger_create() mutex_lock(trigger_lock); rcu_assign_pointer(poll_task, NULL); mutex_unlock(trigger_lock); mutex_lock(trigger_lock); if (!rcu_access_pointer(group->poll_task)) { timer_setup(poll_timer, poll_timer_fn, 0); rcu_assign_pointer(poll_task, task); } mutex_unlock(trigger_lock); synchronize_rcu(); del_timer_sync(poll_timer); <-- poll_timer has been reinitialized by psi_trigger_create() So, trigger_lock/RCU correctly protects destruction of group->poll_task but misses this race affecting poll_timer and poll_wait.
