fork: avoid inappropriate uprobe access to invalid mm
If dup_mmap() encounters an issue, currently uprobe is able to access the relevant mm via the reverse mapping (in build_map_info()), and if we are very unlucky with a race window, observe invalid XA_ZERO_ENTRY state which we establish as part of the fork error path. This occurs because uprobe_write_opcode() invokes anon_vma_prepare() which in turn invokes find_mergeable_anon_vma() that uses a VMA iterator, invoking vma_iter_load() which uses the advanced maple tree API and thus is able to observe XA_ZERO_ENTRY entries added to dup_mmap() in commit d24062914837 ("fork: use __mt_dup() to duplicate maple tree in dup_mmap()"). This change was made on the assumption that only process tear-down code would actually observe (and make use of) these values. However this very unlikely but still possible edge case with uprobes exists and unfortunately does make these observable. The uprobe operation prevents races against the dup_mmap() operation via the dup_mmap_sem semaphore, which is acquired via uprobe_start_dup_mmap() and dropped via uprobe_end_dup_mmap(), and held across register_for_each_vma() prior to invoking build_map_info() which does the reverse mapping lookup. Currently these are acquired and dropped within dup_mmap(), which exposes the race window prior to error handling in the invoking dup_mm() which tears down the mm. We can avoid all this by just moving the invocation of uprobe_start_dup_mmap() and uprobe_end_dup_mmap() up a level to dup_mm() and only release this lock once the dup_mmap() operation succeeds or clean up is done. This means that the uprobe code can never observe an incompletely constructed mm and resolves the issue in this case.
