Hao-Yu Yang 190a8c48ff futex: Fix UaF between futex_key_to_node_opt() and vma_replace_policy()
During futex_key_to_node_opt() execution, vma->vm_policy is read under
speculative mmap lock and RCU. Concurrently, mbind() may call
vma_replace_policy() which frees the old mempolicy immediately via
kmem_cache_free().

This creates a race where __futex_key_to_node() dereferences a freed
mempolicy pointer, causing a use-after-free read of mpol->mode.

[  151.412631] BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __futex_key_to_node (kernel/futex/core.c:349)
[  151.414046] Read of size 2 at addr ffff888001c49634 by task e/87

[  151.415969] Call Trace:

[  151.416732]  __asan_load2 (mm/kasan/generic.c:271)
[  151.416777]  __futex_key_to_node (kernel/futex/core.c:349)
[  151.416822]  get_futex_key (kernel/futex/core.c:374 kernel/futex/core.c:386 kernel/futex/core.c:593)

Fix by adding rcu to __mpol_put().
