Catalin Marinas 2abd839aa7 kmemleak: Do not corrupt the object_list during clean-up
In case of an error (e.g. memory pool too small), kmemleak disables
itself and cleans up the already allocated metadata objects. However, if
this happens early before the RCU callback mechanism is available,
put_object() skips call_rcu() and frees the object directly. This is not
safe with the RCU list traversal in __kmemleak_do_cleanup().

Change the list traversal in __kmemleak_do_cleanup() to
list_for_each_entry_safe() and remove the rcu_read_{lock,unlock} since
the kmemleak is already disabled at this point. In addition, avoid an
unnecessary metadata object rb-tree look-up since it already has the
struct kmemleak_object pointer.

Fixes: c566586818 ("mm: kmemleak: use the memory pool for early allocations")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
