sysctl: protect poll() in entries that may go away
Protect code accessing ctl_table by grabbing the header with grab_header() and after releasing with sysctl_head_finish(). This is needed if poll() is called in entries created by modules: currently only hostname and domainname support poll(), but this bug may be triggered when/if modules use it and if user called poll() in a file that doesn't support it. Dave Jones reported the following when using a syscall fuzzer while hibernating/resuming: RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff81233e3e>] [<ffffffff81233e3e>] proc_sys_poll+0x4e/0x90 RAX: 0000000000000145 RBX: ffff88020cab6940 RCX: 0000000000000000 RDX: ffffffff81233df0 RSI: 6b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b RDI: ffff88020cab6940 [ ... ] Code: 00 48 89 fb 48 89 f1 48 8b 40 30 4c 8b 60 e8 b8 45 01 00 00 49 83 7c 24 28 00 74 2e 49 8b 74 24 30 48 85 f6 74 24 48 85 c9 75 32 <8b> 16 b8 45 01 00 00 48 63 d2 49 39 d5 74 10 8b 06 48 98 48 89 If an entry goes away while we are polling() it, ctl_table may not exist anymore.
